Why Do People Sometimes Need Self Storage as a Part of the Moving Process?
by 123 MOVERS

There are many reasons why people need self storage as a part of the process of moving their personal belongings, furniture or office. They range from not having enough space in their new house or office to temporarily having no home at all. Let us examine some of the main reasons why some of our customers have asked 123 MOVERS to professionally move all or part of their belongings into a self storage facility.

Selling a home:
Self storage can be of great use when selling your home. The appearance of extra living space in your home can translate into buyers that are more interested and a significantly higher sale price. So, prior to putting your home on the market, you may want to "declutter" your home. As soon as you decide to do so, prior to selling, we suggest that you get in touch with 123 MOVERS and perhaps consult our moving checklist.

People who hoard:
The desire to "hold on to things" goes back many centuries and in extreme cases can be referred to as hoarding. Hoarding is about the fear of throwing something away that you might need someday or that if thrown away will cause a problem. At 123 MOVERS, we have extensive experience at moving goods in and out of self storage, ensuring you have your precious possessions to hand when and where you want them.

Building a new home:
Most people who have built a new home have done it, yes move in with the in laws for a period of time while the new home is being built. However, it is quite rare that our accommodating family will have the space needed to store all our prized possessions. People using secure self storage to store all of their belongings while they build a new home is very common.

Divorce:
It is unfortunate but marriage breakdowns and high divorce rates are becoming more prevalent in today's society. It is often the case where one person needs to leave the family home and needs to store the items that were solely theirs. A good moving company will have experienced team members who will have an empathetic and caring approach and provide a complete moving and storage solution including quote, move and store at very short notice.

Traveling:
People often choose to travel for either work or pleasure for up to twelve months or more. With their house often unoccupied during this period, they feel more secure placing their treasured possessions into a secure self storage facility. A good self storage company will be able to visit your home, provide a free quote and submit it professionally to the company responsible for making the payments.

Death in the family:
Many moving and storage consultants have had the melancholy task of assisting family members store the belongings of a deceased relative when no other options were available. A month or two of storage can relieve the pressure of sorting through a relative's house contents during such difficult times. Our moving consultants can help make this difficult task as hassle free as possible by organising everything including removal and packing with just one call.

Moving back into the family home:
So the kids leave the nest and you have all this spare room to do with whatever you want. And you do by creating a study and an entertainment area, not to mention your own in house storage area. Then 12 months later, you get the phone call "Mum it has not worked out and I need to come home". Our low cost removals option is very popular among young people who cannot afford to pay for two removalists and a large truck. Our VAN approach means that they can use just one mover and help with the lifting.

So there you have it. These are some of the main reasons why people need to use self storage when moving their goods. The benefits of taking advantage of self storage are more than just peace of mind but often a sense of relief that your affairs are sorted and you are free to get on with living without your possessions tying you down. Your stress is also reduced when you choose a low cost, reliable mover to help you.
