They say that moving house is one of the most stressful experiences any of us can go through. sorting finances to moving day itself, there’s so much to consider that it can be overwhelming. One big stress factor comes from knowing what to do with your belongings during busy moving periods.
Luckily, that’s where self storage units come in. Personal storage units, like the ones we have available in our Poole self storage facility, can come in incredibly useful when going through a move. In this blog, we’ll cover a few examples of when and how using secure self storage can be used for moving house and how to use them to your advantage.
Time Between Homes
One of the most common reasons for using storage facilities during a move is because you might find there to be a gap between your old home and your new one. Whether you rent or own your home, arranging occupation dates between one home and the other can be tricky – particularly if you’re in a chain.
Many find that they have had to hand over the keys to their old property before getting access to their new home. This means they might be staying with friends or family, or even in other accommodation. When doing this, you don’t want to have to worry about constantly moving all your belongings and finding somewhere for them to go.
By using local, secure self storage, you can be sure that your household items are safe and out of the way until it’s time to fully move in.
Alternatively, you might find that your exchange and completion dates or time between tenancies is extremely short. In this instance, it may be physically impossible to move all your household items from one property to another in such a timeframe. By using self storage units, you can prepare ahead of time by placing items you don’t immediately need away and just spend moving day focusing on your most needed items.
You’re Moving Far Away
If you’re moving further than the other side of your town, using a storage facility will also be invaluable. That way, you can keep less urgent items safe while you’re getting settled, and come back for them later. Our Poole self storage is flexible, so if you need to extend your stay, that’s not a problem. Likewise, if you need to reduce the size of your storage unit, our friendly team can also help with that.
Your New Home
If your new home requires some renovation work, painting, or even just a deep clean before you can fully move in, DIY self storage can come in handy. For example, if you’re working on one room at a time, you may need to swap out the items you’re keeping in storage facilities while you get the work completed.
