The UK's riskiest, and safest, towns and cities for burglary have been identified by Endsleigh Insurance, with Nottingham topping the list of having the highest risk for burglary - while the residents of Guildford are least likely to be robbed.

The figures were revealed in Endsleigh's latest 'Homes Report', which shows the UK's top ten safest and riskiest towns and cities for burglaries.

The data shows that Nottingham residents are almost twice as likely to make a claim for household theft - with the risk 88.7% higher than Endsleigh's national average.

The city has shown some improvement however, as claims for theft have been slowly falling - a perception which is backed up by recent Home Office statistics, showing burglary is down in the Nottingham area by 19%.

The results were collected by analysing theft claims across the UK over the last four years from the hundreds of thousands of people insured by Endsleigh.

Endsleigh has compared the frequency of claims in different UK towns and cities to the Endsleigh national average.

Leeds and Hull residents are 63.2% and 55.6% more likely respectively to make a claim than the average Endsleigh policyholder.

Residents in Guildford come out as the safest, as the figures show they are least likely to suffer a burglary - 64% less likely to make a claim than the Endsleigh average. Swindon and Dundee follow closely behind as the second and third safest respectively.
