Ive been advised by a mate, that you must change the locks when you move into a house.
Is he right?

I have moved several times over the years, and never changed the locks, and never had any bother.

Sister changed hers when she moved but only because the ex owner had split from her boyfriend & he still had a key, owned money etc
If you buy from Mary Poppins dont bother, if its some ex junkie do bother.

I've not changed mine yet.
But, previous owners are lovely.
Will be changing doors soon though.

the son of the woman who used to live there used to lock her in her room for days at a time and steal to fund his drug habit - maybe I should change the doors sooner rather than later 
Best one is that I couldn't understand how my hedges were getting trimmed on a near weekly basis when we moved in; turns out next door neighbour had a key to the side extension to let himself round the back. I soon solved that, I knocked down the extension, and built a bigger better one now my hedge can overgrow all it wants
