5 Reasons To Use Self Storage When Moving

5 Reasons To Use Self Storage When Moving

There are many more than 5 good reasons to utilise self storage space when moving home but we’re going to give you our Top 5.

1. Saleability

When selling your home you want it to sell as quickly as possible and not be left languishing on the market. When this happens buyers often think there’s something wrong with the property and are more inclined to make cheeky offers.

The saleability of your home will certainly be dependent on how it’s presented and staged for viewings. Storing infrequently used items and decluttering gives an illusion of more space. Sometimes buyers can struggle to imagine themselves living in a property that has too much of the sellers personality so a clean canvas can be a great place to start.

2. Less to Manage

If you have decluttered and placed as much as possible in storage there will be less for you to do to prepare for viewings. Less things to tidy away and clean, after all it’s time-consuming keeping on top of a clean and tidy home at the best of times. So make it as easy as possible on yourself.

3. Less to do on Moving Day

If you have already packed up a lot of your belongings and moved them into a storage unit there will be less to do on official moving day. If you’ve done it gradually over time it could even save you money with a removals firm having much less to do. It also means you can move things into your new home slowly and decide if there are some things that you don’t need or want to keep.

4. What You Really Need

If you have packed belongings away and lived without them you can reassess if you really need and want them. It could be the perfect time to sell or donate to charity items that you haven’t used for a while.

5. Renovations

If the new home you’re moving into needs renovation or redecorating it might be easier not to have all of your belongings moved into it from the outset. This means less chance of things getting damaged and less to move from room to room as you do the required work. Once you have completed all the work you plan to do moving your belongings in slowly will be a weight off your shoulders.
