Moving house? 5 reasons why container storage is essential

Moving home is considered to be one of the most stressful life events you will ever encounter. Surveys suggest that the endless mountains of boxes and the pressure to finally get your current house sold is more stressful than having a baby or changing career paths. However, the many benefits of using container storage when moving house often get overlooked. Here are five reasons why hiring a storage unit should be at the top of your moving checklist.

1. Finish off decorating

Patching up and painting walls is so much harder with bulky furniture and boxes to navigate around. Keeping some of your belongings in storage will give you more time to get the bare foundations of the new rooms complete before you start furnishing. Your house will feel more like a home instead of a rushed job of sloppy paintwork.

2. Make your current home attractive to buyers

It’s so frustrating when your new home is waiting for you but no one is interested in your current home. Container storage can really open up the space in your house and show exactly how big the rooms are, making it a more attractive abode to potential buyers.

3. It staggers the moving process

The moving process is a long one. You’ll be surprised by how many things you own when you’re faced with the arduous process of packing and unpacking boxes. By placing less essential items and furnishings in storage, you can break up the process and move in items to the new house at your leisure.

4. Helpful when it comes to decluttering

Some people are very sentimental, attaching memories and meaning to certain objects; this isn’t particularly helpful when you have to transport it all from point A to B. Container storage can help you reassess the value of your belongings; after they have been sitting in storage for a few weeks you might come to realise that they aren’t essential and could be worth donating to another family.

5. A cost-effective solution

When you’ve accumulated a lot of stuff over the years, hiring moving vans might turn out to be the more expensive solution. A storage container eliminates the middleman, allowing you to transport your own possessions without incurring unnecessary costs.
