3 Ways Sea Container Rentals Can Help You Move House

Moving house can sometimes be a long and stressful experience. There is a lot to sort out with paperwork, a potential chain of parties to consider, not to mention moving all of your belongings between homes when your property has sold. It’s important to plan ahead as much as possible before throwing yourself into the process.

At Store That, we believe that the efficient use of self-storage can make the moving process so much easier. Here are our top tips on how:

1. Sell Your Property Faster

Self-storage and the large capacity of sea container rentals can actually save you time, stress and money, even prior to putting your house on the market. Prospective buyers can see the potential of the property, without any distractions or obstructions. This could lead to your property selling quicker. When it does sell, you can afford to move in stages and pay less to couriers and removal companies because you won’t be taking things you don’t need.

2. Clear Out In Advance

Try and get ahead of the game! As moving day draws nearer, you’ll probably become aware of just how much stuff you actually own! Most removal companies charge according to how long it takes to pack and load your belongings and then calculate how many journeys will need to be made to and from. Save yourself time and money by decluttering as much as possible before the move. Putting your items into storage beforehand will reduce moving time and costs. It’ll also enable you to see exactly what you’re left with and how they could fit into your new home. Once you’re settled there, you can make an accurate judgement on what you need to keep and what you should sell, donate or throw away.

3. Optimum Time For TLC

Of course, you’ll want to get moved in and settled as quickly as possible after moving day. Having your items in sea container rentals means that you have optimum time to really make your house a home. You’ll have time to thoroughly clean your new house and plan properly before having to move all of your belongings in. Self-storage gives you the time you need to prepare and as a result, you’ll feel calmer and in control of the process.

Investing in a sea container rental can continue to benefit you even after you’ve moved in. You may want to embark on some DIY projects, and you’ll find it a lot easier to get renovations and redecorating done when you don’t have to move everything around to protect it!
