Moving house? Storage King to the rescue!
Moving house: it’s not something we do for fun, is it? Allthe same, the time comes when we have to move on to pastures new. Gettingstorage space can take some of the stress out of your move, making the wholeprocess a lot smoother and easier on frayed nerves. In fact, statistics showthat the prime reason for taking storage space is the need to put a few thingsaway over the moving period. But surely moving simply means packing up, movingon 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 youhave to get the old place sold first. We already know that the better theimpression we make on prospective home buyers, the faster our properties willsell, but what’s to be done about all the things that make our homes look livedin? Buyers want to see everything crisp and uncluttered even though they knoweverything will move when we move. What’s to be done?
Moving our loved but less than impressive belongings intostorage is a great solution. The family room couch that Fido has turned intohis 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 refinishare among the items you can put out of sight in a storage facility along withyour decades-long collection of National Geographic and the books and toys youdon’t need every day but still want to keep.
Between houses
Imagine this. You’ve just landed your dream job. There’sjust one problem. You have to move right across the country to take it. Whatwith 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 suitablesounding new home falls open, and you wouldn’t want to sign a lease or buy anew home without having a good look around first.
The obvious solution would be to get temporary lodgings foryourself and your family and look around at what’s available for a morepermanent arrangement at your leisure. But who wants to move house twice ifonce will do? Instead of unpacking everything or living with mountains of boxeswhile you search for the ideal home, you can put everything you don’t needright away into storage. There’ll be plenty of time to unpack once you’ve foundthe right place to call home.
Just get this stuffout of my way for now!
If you’ve got a fair amount of time to prepare for yourmove, 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 boxesstanding around in the hallway for weeks on end. Eliminate the issue by gettingstorage space so that you can pack in your own time without the inconvenienceof having to live with the consequences of multiple boxes!
Too much stuff! Ineed to think about this…
If you’re moving from a large home to a smaller one, youmight have way too much stuff to fit into it. Selling up a few pieces makessense, but you might not want to let your Queen Anne chairs go for pennies justbecause you’re in a rush. Besides, you still have to get settled in the newplace, and there might be some chopping and changing. As for empty nesters, youknow your kids are going to have a fit if you get rid of the bits and bobs theyleft behind. Asking them to pick it all up is a fair call, but is it going tohappen in time? Pop those goodies into storage to give everyone time to get themorganised.
