Although moving house is a stressful time in life, putting some of your things into self storage during the sale can make the process that little bit easier.
When you’re selling your house, the problem of what to do with all your things starts long before moving day arrives. You want the estate agent to have great-looking photos for the listing, and you want to show your home off at its best to prospective buyers who come for viewings. But it’s hard to do this while living surrounded by all the clutter of everyday life (especially if you’re moving because you’ve outgrown your current home).
If your bookshelves are double-stacked and the estate agent is tripping over DIY equipment in the hallway, it’s time to let MORE! Self Storage take some of the strain. Pack up the things you won’t need until your house is sold and take them down to one of our self storage units. They’ll be safe there until you need them – all our stores have monitored CCTV. And don’t worry if you don’t know exactly when that will be: our self storage is flexible so you can rent it for as long as you need.
This flexibility makes it easy to cope with any unexpected hiccups in the process. If your chain breaks and you need to rent for a while, you can easily swap to a bigger storage unit and put more of your things into storage until you can move to your new home. If you can avoid breaking the chain, you’ll be more likely to secure the house you really want.
When it's time to move into your new home, you can sort through things in your storage unit – taking a few at a time as you need them. This gives you more time and space, and means you won't need such a large van or lorry on moving day. And if you’re moving into a smaller rented house while you keep looking for one to buy, there's no need to live surrounded by boxes; you can leave your things safely in storage with MORE!
