Self Storage for House Moves

With a house move rarely going straight from one property to another, it can be a relief to have a self storage unit to help with the transition.

Book Around Exchange and Completion

We recommend that you book your storage unit before exchange, to ensure it is ready for you when you need it. This can often be a few weeks before completion, and by knowing what to expect at the property exchange and completion, you can book the storage unit around these dates.

Move Bulky Items Out Early

Large furniture items such as beds, wardrobes and books are perfect items to move into storage first as they can then be removed from your home before the actual removal day to protect your floors and enable your removal team to work more efficiently.

Split the Move Into Stages

Try to move the bulky items out of the house first and then have them collected and taken to storage by the removal company later. This helps the removal men to move more efficiently around the house and prevents any damage to your floors.

Plan for Chain Delays

In case the completion of your previous property does not go as planned, you will have sufficient time to reorganize your belongings and find alternative storage. There are many self storage facilities in Dudley which offer flexible use of their units.

Declutter Before You Unpack

Use your storage time to sort out what you really want to take to your new home. Self Storage Dudley is covered in more detail at https://www.anchorselfstorage.co.uk/self-storage/dudley/.

It’s worth remembering that with a little planning around the dates and times of your move, it can be a much less stressful event.
