Security is the primary concern of everyone considering that on a bad day it can prove disastrous to one’s life and property. So in order to have that peace of mind and be as stress free as possible take a note of the crime rate in the area that you plan to move to.

• HOW RELATIVE IS THE LOCATION.?
