  • no, we need keys to both front door and flats doors but there is no lock, we just shut the door behind us. I would imagine it would be easy to kick the door open 
    Doesn't quite make sense, you say you need keys to open the doors but that there are no locks?

    Do you mean that you have rim (Yale) locks but don't have additional deadlocks? Or no bolts?

    Home contents cover is an option. As said, unlikely to be covered if you chase the bottom price (but then so much else isn't covered either or claims are painful with such providers).

    Another option is to look at you bank to see if they have any packages, which can be cost effective if you also use other services they provide such as annual travel insurance or car breakdown cover.

    yes that's right, we have a Yale key to open the door  but when we leave we just shut the door, we can't lock the door and no bolts.
