Self-storage and moving, they complement each other perfectly. In a recent survey in the UK – the largest self-storage market in Europe and the UK – almost 40% of private renters cited ‘moving’ as the reason for renting their self-storage unit (source: SSA UK 2021 Industry Report). Below we explain why self-storage and relocation often go hand in hand.
You have to leave your current home due to a sale or end of lease, but you can’t move into your new home yet? That’s annoying, because what are you going to do with your belongings in the meantime? Lodging your entire belongings with family or friends is not very practical, to say the least. Save yourself (and others) the resentment and opt for self-storage to bridge this period.
You decide to put your house on the market? A tip that estate agents will invariably give you is that the house should look as spacious as possible and to place personal items out of sight. Potential buyers should get a feeling of space and should not be distracted by personal items. So it is best to remove all non-essential items from your home and store them in a self-storage unit. A nice bonus: it also makes cleaning your home in preparation for a visit a lot easier!
The day of moving has arrived. You have hired a moving firm or called in some family and friends to take all your belongings from your previous home to your new one. All of a sudden, your new home is filled with moving boxes and all sorts of other possessions. Chaos! Do yourself a favour: keep enough room to unpack and take your time decorating room by room by storing non-essential items in a self-storage unit for a while.
Every move is the start of a new chapter. Self-storage can help you start this chapter with peace of mind by solving some of the practical worries involved in moving. 7/7 access and flexible rental periods (often per month) make self-storage ideal for bridging the period of a move.
