When Moving House Or Office
Moving house or office can be pretty hectic for many, especially when relocating to another town, city, or state. Instead of having everything hauled to the new location, consider it best to keep some of the items/equipment in self-storage for later retrieval. Self-storage helps reduce the cost of moving and makes the process a bit easier and more manageable. This is especially the case if you have little time to plan or move due to an emergency.
Commercial and/or Business Needs
You don’t necessarily have to be moving the office to use self-storage facilities. Some companies use these storage facilities to store equipment and materials they do not need/use for the moment, such as printers, seasonal promotional materials, or equipment that do not need immediate replacement. Keeping these items in storage allows the company/business to save on space and run processes efficiently. This thus means they will not have to move to a bigger office or space, which could be more expensive than paying for storage. If moving to a bigger space/office isn’t an option for your business, you might then want to try self-storage. It will be considerably cheaper and more manageable than moving to a new location and paying more for the extra space. Your clients won’t have a hard time looking for your new location too.
When Renovating/Expanding The Property
Home/office renovations offer an excellent opportunity to create the perfect space for your specific needs. Although you can still move out of the property, get the upgrades done, then move back in, the affair can be a little too expensive and disruptive. The easier way would be to keep your belongings in safe storage to create room and space for the contractor to work in peace. This option also reduces the risk of damage, breakage, and loss of items when trying to move them. In addition to this, moving the items to storage means the contractors won’t have to move your belongings around when working on the property.

If Working Away (Gap Year)
Does your work involve moving around or spending extended periods abroad, away from home? Although most people choose to sell everything before leaving, then restock once back, you can choose to use self-storage instead. Although you’d still have to pay for the storage, it is much better than having to sell items you like. In addition to this, you’ll not need to beg friends/family to keep boxes of your items in their apartments. The best thing about self-storage is that you can always return to your belongings and be assured of safety. The rates charged for self-storage are considerably lower than if you were to pay for a house you don’t live in. This is why self-storage is quite popular with students and those working abroad.
House Clearance
If disaster strikes and a loved one passes away, those left behind are responsible for clearing the house quickly, especially if still on a mortgage or for other probate reasons. There are also times when the house will sell faster than you anticipated, forcing you to vacate immediately. When this happens, then the most logical thing would be to have everything removed and kept somewhere safe, such as a storage facility. Some items may hold sedimental value for most people, especially those from a loved one that passed on. Keeping these in self-storage means you can still access them whenever you wish. This is much better than selling all the items.
