When self storage can help during your house move

  • Decluttering: giving an impression of more space can make your property easier to sell.
  • Space to sort: move out things that you’re unlikely to need on a day-to-day basis to avoid piles of boxes stacked up.
  • Downsizing: if you are moving into a smaller property but still want to keep some of your possessions then keeping them in storage makes sense.
  • Moving in together: if you’ve got 2 of everything, it can be helpful to store some of your belongings while you work out what you both need and like.
  • Waiting for the perfect property: if you’ve sold your home but not yet found the next one, self-storage can be a short-term solution. Take only what you need and leave everything else packed up for the final move.

Moving is always stressful. However, Val and Alfonso made it so much easier than expected. They could not have been more helpful. Friendly, transparent, clear, exceptional service. Nothing was too much trouble and they clearly enjoy their jobs. A big thank you guys. Pete Crouch.
