Home security & rental compliance · Melbourne metro

Melbourne home security. Victorian rental compliance. Two jobs — pick the one that’s yours.

One is hardware fitted at your home. The other is a written check of your rental against Victoria’s 15 minimum standards, by a landlord who keeps his own properties compliant. Same person either way, every price agreed first.

For homeowners

Home security across Melbourne metro

Burglars don’t pick streets. They pick the easiest house on the street.

Cars taken off driveways. Community pages full of doorbell footage from streets you know. Vehicle theft in Victoria is at a two-decade high, and a lot of it starts the same way: someone walks into an unlocked house and picks the keys up off the bench. Make yours the one they walk past.

31,851 cars stolen in Victoria in a year — the most since 2001–02. Many start with keys taken from inside the house.

What we fitWindow locks, patio bolts, gate hardware and meter box locks — the back door and the side gate first. From $195 fitted, or any three items for $395.

Up to 40% taken using key-mimicking or cloning technology — which still needs the offender standing at your car.

What we fitVehicle theft deterrent pack: OBD port lock, steering lock, anti-theft plate screws and two signal-blocking key pouches. $395 fitted.

8 in 10 aggravated burglaries where the offender simply walked into an unlocked home.

The question isn’t whether your area gets hit. It’s whether your home is the one that gets picked.

Offenders make that decision from the footpath, in seconds, on what they can see. Which is why the unglamorous hardware matters more than anything with an app.

1

Fifteen minutes at your door.

The free Doorstep Security Check

You show us what’s been on your mind — the door, the gate, the garage — and we measure it and price it on the spot. No cost, no obligation.

2

We don’t sell what won’t make a difference.

Security-first thinking

This isn’t handyman work with a security logo. If a job doesn’t make your home physically harder to get into, we don’t quote it — and we’ll tell you when something you’re asking about isn’t worth your money.

The number comes before the work.

Published prices

Prices are published wherever they can be printed, and anything made to measure gets one fixed figure in writing first. No hourly meter, no surprise bills.

Owner-operated, one discipline: quality hardware fitted properly, every price in writing — and your home stops being the easy one on the street.

For landlords & property buyers

Written compliance checks, and the fixes at published prices — for landlords, self-managers and buyers.

Victoria keeps raising the bar. Know where your rental stands.

Record-keeping and two-yearly gas and electrical checks from 13 October 2026. Heating, cooling, insulation and showerhead triggers from March 2027. Draught-proofing from July 2027. The expensive version of compliance is the one that surfaces mid-tenancy, on someone else’s timeline.

Left until it’s urgent

  • Gaps surface when a tenant complains, at re-let, or in a dispute — the worst possible moments.
  • Urgent repairs at urgent prices — no time to compare quotes or plan the work.
  • The 2027 upgrades arrive unbudgeted, all at once.
  • From 13 October you need records. Without a check, there’s nothing dated on file.

Handled by Safehaus

  • All 15 standards checked and written up, every item photographed — a dated report that can form part of your records.
  • Small items fixed on the day; the rest at published prices you see before you say yes.
  • 2027 upgrades identified early, with your own dates and a cost beside each, so nothing arrives all at once.
  • Your gas, electrical and smoke alarm dates recorded, so the cycle doesn’t creep up on you.
Rental compliance work completed by Safehaus at Melbourne properties

You’ll always know what we’d charge — and you’re never obliged to use us.

Safehaus both checks properties and fixes them. Where a report finds something we can fix, we tell you our price for it, at the same published rate anyone else pays.

The report is yours to take anywhere. We take no commissions, referral fees or rebates from trades or suppliers — so nothing in a report depends on you buying anything from us.
