Moving house? Storage King to the rescue!
Moving house: it’s not something we do for fun, is it? All
the same, the time comes when we have to move on to pastures new. Getting
storage space can take some of the stress out of your move, making the whole
process a lot smoother and easier on frayed nerves. In fact, statistics show
that the prime reason for taking storage space is the need to put a few things
away over the moving period. But surely moving simply means packing up, moving
on and packing out? Our investigations show there’s more to it than that!
Selling up
If you own your home rather than renting it, moving means you
have to get the old place sold first. We already know that the better the
impression we make on prospective home buyers, the faster our properties will
sell, but what’s to be done about all the things that make our homes look lived
in? Buyers want to see everything crisp and uncluttered even though they know
everything will move when we move. What’s to be done?
Moving our loved but less than impressive belongings into
storage is a great solution. The family room couch that Fido has turned into
his favourite bed, grandma’s comfy armchair that you love but nobody else does,
and the antique dresser you picked up for a song and keep meaning to refinish
are among the items you can put out of sight in a storage facility along with
your decades-long collection of National Geographic and the books and toys you
don’t need every day but still want to keep.
Between houses
Imagine this. You’ve just landed your dream job. There’s
just one problem. You have to move right across the country to take it. What
with finishing up at your old job and getting your home in order for the move,
you just don’t have time to drive hundreds of kilometres every time a suitable
sounding new home falls open, and you wouldn’t want to sign a lease or buy a
new home without having a good look around first.
The obvious solution would be to get temporary lodgings for
yourself and your family and look around at what’s available for a more
permanent arrangement at your leisure. But who wants to move house twice if
once will do? Instead of unpacking everything or living with mountains of boxes
while you search for the ideal home, you can put everything you don’t need
right away into storage. There’ll be plenty of time to unpack once you’ve found
the right place to call home.
Just get this stuff
out of my way for now!
If you’ve got a fair amount of time to prepare for your
move, packing up things you don’t often use ahead of time can save you stress.
But what’s to be done with the boxes? Nobody likes having a stack of boxes
standing around in the hallway for weeks on end. Eliminate the issue by getting
storage space so that you can pack in your own time without the inconvenience
of having to live with the consequences of multiple boxes!
Too much stuff! I
need to think about this…
If you’re moving from a large home to a smaller one, you
might have way too much stuff to fit into it. Selling up a few pieces makes
sense, but you might not want to let your Queen Anne chairs go for pennies just
because you’re in a rush. Besides, you still have to get settled in the new
place, and there might be some chopping and changing. As for empty nesters, you
know your kids are going to have a fit if you get rid of the bits and bobs they
left behind. Asking them to pick it all up is a fair call, but is it going to
happen in time? Pop those goodies into storage to give everyone time to get them
organised.
