The benefits of self-storage when moving home

Amid the hustle of packing, transferring your billing addresses, and managing a whole host of other details, there’s often that nagging question: “Where do I keep all my belongings?” Enter home self-storage solutions. Our friendly experts from our Bournemouth, Basingstoke and Swindon storage units are discussing why you should consider self-storage when making your big move.

Declutter for better house viewings

Before you put your house on the market, it’s important to put some time into your home’s presentation. A decluttered, well-organised space always makes a better impression for potential buyers. By moving non-essential items into house-moving storage, you can create a cleaner, more spacious looking home. This not only appeals to viewers but, in some instances, can even help to fetch a better market price. Places like MORE!

Flexibility with moving dates

Let’s be honest, the moving process is rarely seamless. Sometimes there’s a gap between when you move out of your old home and into your new one. Home self-storage provides the perfect bridge between properties, ensuring your belongings are safe until you’re ready to move them to your new home.

No immediate pressure to unpack

With all the stress of moving home, it can often be a while before we’ve recovered enough to even consider unpacking. In the meantime, that can mean boxes everywhere! With the option of storing non-essential items in our Basingstoke, Bournemouth and Swindon storage units, you can pace yourself and unpack at your leisure. This ensures your new space remains tidy and stress-free.

Secure valuable belongings

During the chaos of moving, the risk of valuable items getting lost or damaged is likely to increase. By placing them into moving-house storage for the duration of the moving process, you have the assurance of a secure space to store your most treasured possessions. You can then leave them in storage until everything else is unpacked and you’re ready to bring them out again.

Ease the process of downsizing

If you’re moving into a smaller space, deciding what to keep and what to part with can be emotionally taxing. Self-storage provides a short-term solution. Keep your cherished items in storage while you take the time to decide what fits in your home and what doesn’t. You can even test yourself, placing certain items in storage and seeing if you can live without them. If it transpires that you can’t, it’s a simple case of taking it back out of storage again.
