High quality self storage facilities offer a safe & secure way of holding on to valued belongings. With key benefits such as flexibility, easy access with your own personal pin code and well ventilated rooms.
Possessions may not be of great value or significant importance to others, however they could be highly sentimental to you. Safe in the knowledge that your precious items are protected provides peace of mind. Self storage can help solve many life situations and allow personal goals to be achieved.
Moving home
Moving is often a challenge, requiring lots of organisation and patience. You don’t always realise how much has accumulated over time in the garage or loft, until you have to go through it! If you happen to be in a property chain, the goalposts can move and sometimes the fluidity of dates impact timescales.
Maybe you currently live in a flat or apartment, this could be a short or a long-term plan. Either way, having another option available for any extra belongings that just won’t fit anywhere and too good to dispose of – extra equivalent space is a bonus. You might be looking to buy your first home and currently in rented accommodation, bridging a move whilst arranging a mortgage and finances. If extra room isn’t available this might be the right time to consider self storage.
Downsizing
Evaluating how you actually use the current space you have, could lead to downsizing to another place. A smaller dwelling might better serve your lifestyle requirements, especially if children have recently ‘flown the nest’. Sometimes reducing the size of your next home may not be seen as enthralling as increasing space, but using less heat usually reduces household energy costs.
Upsizing
Relocating to a larger property often involves lots of exciting decisions and planning. Extra fixtures, fittings and furnishings for a bigger footprint is on the agenda, with perhaps larger rooms and additional living areas. Whilst this is exciting, it highlights the importance of practical planning to help smooth everything out.
A new job could mean relocation is favourable to reduce commuting time to work. This could mean you’d be living in a different size home with less or more storage capacity.
Hobbies & interests
No matter which hobby or interest you, or your family members pursue, sometimes you may benefit from a little extra space. Whether you are a collector, keen on photography or looking to protect your favourite artwork. Perhaps you coach a sports team or have fitness equipment that’d be better kept indoors away from the outdoor elements. You could be a musician who doesn’t have any extra room at home, to keep your instruments.
Home renovations
Whether you’re reconfiguring and decorating your bedroom layout, to converting a garage space or attic, keep in mind “everything in its place and a place for everything!” Maximising the potential in your home with alterations will add value to your property long term, so it’s usually worth considering.
A new arrival in the family
Behind that closed door might be your record collection or fitness gear but with a baby on the way, life’s soon going to be busy for a little while!
One thing is for sure, if a room is going to be transformed into a nursery for that new addition, it has to be cleared out and prepared – ready for the new baby décor.
Helping out an elderly relative
Should a loved one need some assistance to reorganise their personal possessions or no longer have any use for them, then de-cluttering could be your next task! We all try to keep on top of storing our home contents. It usually requires a bit of thought and planning, especially if it is on someone’s behalf.
Whatever your motivation to use self storage, it can be the ultimate problem solver! A storage space for your personal goods, can provide dry, well ventilated rooms tailored to the size and time required, whenever your lifestyle changes.
