Not every house move happens perfectly from one property straight into another. There may be a gap between moving out and moving in, renovation work may need to be completed, or you may simply have more belongings than your new home can accommodate.
Storage can provide a practical solution during these situations.
When Might You Need Storage?
Storage can be useful when:
- There is a gap between properties
- Your new home needs renovation
- You are downsizing
- You are temporarily relocating
- You are staging a property for sale
- You need additional space during a move
- You want to store seasonal or rarely used belongings
What Should You Put Into Storage?
Storage is suitable for many household belongings, including:
- Furniture
- Boxes
- Clothing
- Books
- Household items
- Office equipment
- Seasonal belongings
However, always check the storage provider’s terms regarding restricted or unsuitable items.
Pack Your Belongings Properly
Use strong boxes and suitable protective materials. Clearly label boxes so you can identify their contents later.
For furniture, protective wrapping can help reduce the risk of scratches, dust and other damage during storage and transportation.
Organise Your Storage
Try to keep frequently needed items somewhere accessible.
Place heavier boxes at the bottom and lighter boxes on top. Leave suitable access where possible so you do not need to remove everything to reach one box.
