Personal storage use cases: moving house storage

Our customers use our moving house storage to declutter their homes before estate agents take photos and then keep their possessions in storage until the sale is complete and they’re settled in their new homes.

Chris used our store in Bournemouth for a house move, taking advantage of the easy access to our large storage containers. “Our new house is 5-10 mins from here and we were able to do several loads during the hectic moving period, knowing that our possessions were secure in the storage unit,” he explains. “We had one of the external storage containers which we could park the van right next to, making loading easy.”

Above and beyond the secure storage and easy access, it was the friendly service from our team that Chris valued at this busy time. “The team at MORE! we dealt with (Keiran and Jordan) were always helpful and replied to any queries promptly during a highly stressful time. Everything was explained clearly up front, and the process was smooth with no hidden costs. Great value and highly professional storage service.”

Derek used our self storage following a divorce, when he sold his house to move to a smaller apartment: “I didn’t want my new home totally cluttered, and this allowed me to store the non-essential items, and bring them to my new home, at a realistic rate.”

We aim to make everything about our moving house storage – from booking your room to accessing your things – as easy as possible. And that’s exactly what Derek found: “The whole process was straightforward, and easy to complete. It was easy to access, and the staff there were extremely helpful.”

It can be tricky to know which size of storage unit to rent for your house move. Having stored with us for a previous house move, Zoe knew she could rely on our friendly team at the MORE! Basingstoke store to advise her (as well as to offer plenty of tips on boxes and packaging, and how to store like a pro).

“From helping us select the right packing materials and never trying to upsell, to the perfect selection of an appropriate unit for our needs, the team’s recommendations were all spot on,” says Zoe. “I would not want to use anyone else. Nothing is too much trouble, the team are always exceptionally welcoming, professional and a pleasure to deal with.”
