Moving house can be a stressful and challenging time, as well as exciting. You are looking forward to a change of scene and a fresh start, but there is so much to think about. When you are considering removal services for all of your possessions from one place to another, have you ever thought about how self-storage could make your move easier?
If not, read on! We are sharing some great reasons to use storage to have the best moving experience possible.
The Big Advantage of Getting Self Storage Units During Your Move
What are self storage units? These are facilities or space can be rent for short time or long time to store your items or goods. Storage units plays a big part for those moving from nearby towns or moving from interstate. We compile the major reasons why you should get a self storage unit when you are doing a move.
Declutter ahead of your move
Moving can be an expensive and labour-intensive process. If you have lived in one place for a long time, you most likely have a lot of clutter that you do not want around when you move. A moving checklist can help you organized the things you really need. Some of your possessions may be donated or sold, but if you want to keep these items but not have them cluttering up your move, use a storage unit to keep things out of the way!
Account for delays
Sometimes, a move does not line up as perfectly as you might want it to. You may end up moving out of one property before you have access to your new place. If you find yourself needing to stay with a friend or in alternative accommodation for a while, self-storage will come in handy specially if you are moving interstate. You can keep all of your things safe and not have to rush your move or say no to a property because the timing isn’t exactly right.
Inspect a home thoroughly
Once you have chosen a home, you want the opportunity to explore it thoroughly and perhaps even renovate it. Even if you just want to paint your new property, this can be difficult to do once all your possessions have been moved in. Storage units allow you some breathing space where you can examine your new home while it is still empty, and do any essential works on it without worrying about damaging your things. Using a storage unit also during your moving in the time of COVID also gives you enough time to disinfect the new house and keep your family safe from unwanted illnesses.
Keep expensive items safe
Do you have valuable items that you worry about during moves? It is all too easy to lose or damage those precious pieces of furniture or boxes of photographs in the craziness of a big move. Your removalist may offer insurance but when you choose self-storage, your most valuable items (both financially speaking and from a sentimental perspective) are kept away from the hustle and bustle. This means they will remain safe and undamaged until you can place them carefully in their new space.
Perfect for downsizing
Are you in the process of downsizing and you aren’t sure how all your items are going to fit into your new house? Self-storage is a great way to store your stuff so you have time to decide what you need and what you don’t – there’s no need to rush the decision!
