Seguridad en segundas residencias
El 72,8% de los propietarios encuestados refuerza la seguridad de su segunda vivienda
Anonymous
Nearly three out of four Spanish vacation home owners boost security after returning from holidays. Verisure's Home and Business Security Observatory found that 72.8% of surveyed owners reinforce their second homes when vacations end. The trend reflects growing concern about protecting empty properties left unattended.
Three Years of Rising Security Fears
Worry about second-home protection has climbed for three straight years, Verisure's data shows. Property owners increasingly recognize that vacant holiday homes attract burglars and vandals. The uptick signals a shift in how Spaniards think about seasonal residences — no longer "set and forget" properties.
Why Empty Vacation Homes Stay Vulnerable
Homes sit empty for weeks or months after guests leave. Thieves watch for unoccupied properties with obvious signs of vacancy. Darkened windows, uncollected mail, and overgrown yards signal "nobody home." Adding alarms, cameras, and door locks creates visible deterrents that push criminals toward easier targets.
Common Security Steps Vacation Home Owners Take
According to Verisure's research, owners rely on multiple tactics to protect second homes. Smart locks, video surveillance, alarm systems, and motion sensors rank among the most popular upgrades. Some owners also hire local caretakers to check on properties during absences. Others install timers on lights to simulate occupancy.
