Do you fear your home being burgled? Unfortunately there are still plenty of people out there who wouldn\u2019t give a second thought to breaking into your home.<\/p>\n

Returning to your property after a break-in is always a nightmare scenario. Your drawers will be scattered over the floor, cupboards flung over and gaps in rooms where your expensive TV or music system used to be.<\/p>\n

And it\u2019s definitely worth considering security measures to keep your home protected.<\/p>\n

But aren\u2019t burglary rates coming down in this country?<\/h2>\n

Yes, it\u2019s true that domestic burglaries have been decreasing in frequency. In fact, between 1996 and 2008, figures plummeted from 1.7m to 729,000. But that\u2019s still 729,000 than we\u2019d like. With the recent recession and a growing number of unemployed, there\u2019s every chance of burglaries increasing again.<\/p>\n

What is a typical burglar alarm price?<\/h2>\n

You may be surprised to learn that improving your home\u2019s security is cheaper than you\u2019d think. In fact, a basic burglar alarm price could be as little as \u00a339.99 if you go to a store such as Argos and fit the system yourself.<\/p>\n

Of course, you\u2019ll get extra protection and improved security by spending more, and if you have the money you could spend as much as \u00a31,000 on a burglar alarm.<\/p>\n

The consumer watchdog Which? contacted 281 professional security companies to get an average house alarm price. The average burglar alarm price to fit for a three bedroom semi-detached home was \u00a3475.<\/p>\n

Whilst you may think this to be on the expensive side, how much value to you place on your home\u2019s belongings?<\/p>\n

Are there different types of house alarms?<\/h2>\n

There are three main house alarms on the market for you to consider. These include a bell only alarm, monitored alarm and speech dialler. So let\u2019s find out more:<\/p>\n
