Making a house 'lock up & leave' ?

£5k might be the value of one microphone! The value of everything down there will be large enough to warrant extreme security. I appreciate everyone's feedback and am now thinking of only securing the basement door in such an extreme way; whilst sticking to more standard security for the back door and windows - so that it doesn't look so obvious.

Out of interest, where was the recording studio going to be situated in the apartment?

It was a duplex - so upstairs in a room with no neighbours. It's not a commercial studio either - so no visitors. I have a studio setup in Manchester city centre also - so this is a second, scaled down studio. The basement in this house will be fine - but of course; nervous leaving certain kit in there.

You've got the neighbour parking his car in the drive already - why not ask him to do additional security details as well? Cutting the grass, checking on charity bags/leaflet deliverers who don't take notice of any notices put up. Let him use your wheelie bins too
That would seem the most obvious and best thing to do since you're equipment is valuable.
In addition to hiding it all in the basement with a Fort Knox type door for entry
