Default Should people change the locks if they buy a new home?

We have just brought a new house recently and I took it for granted that we would get new locks put on the front and back doors so I got a few quotes.

Now my husband tells me we are not getting it done because it is unnecessary.

He says we should trust the previous owner that nobody else has keys or could access the property (and all our stuff!) while we are out.

My husband accused me tonight of having an obsessive compulsive disorder because I am security/safety conscious and would prefer to know ONLY we have the keys.

Hubby says he will just ask the previous owner and he will know if the owner is lying to him about the possibility of other keys being around. I said I still would like new locks. Hubby says I should trust his judgement because he will know if the owner is lying. Now hubby says I don't trust or respect his judgement.

What do most people do when they move house? Am I too paranoid or just being sensible?
