If you’re moving home, there may be a period of time where you are between properties and need somewhere safe to store your belongings.
You might be waiting for construction to finish on a new-build property or the sale of your existing home may have gone through before you have been able to complete the purchase of your new one. Containerised storage is a simple, convenient and cost-effective way of storing the contents of your home until you have the keys to your new property.
Andrew Porter Ltd offers a containerised storage option alongside the self-storage units it rents to customers. Here are five reasons why containerised storage may be the answer for you:
No one enjoys packing and with containerised storage, you only need to do it once. All you need to do is gather up all the things you want to put into storage and our crews will take a detailed inventory and pack them into a storage container where they will remain until you need them again. You won’t need to worry about transporting your boxes to the storage unit or unloading them as they will stay in the container which will be sealed for security reasons. As your items will remain in storage until you have moved, you won’t need to unpack everything in your temporary home, only to have to do it all over again when your new home is ready.
If you have a period of time between house moves, you may well be moving into someone else’s home on a temporary basis. Alternatively, you may be staying in a hotel, holiday property or furnished short-term let. Wherever you are staying, you probably won’t need all your possessions and furniture with you and space is likely to be at a premium.
Containerised storage is usually the cheapest type of storage, particularly if you have a large amount of items, which need storing for a fixed amount of time. Once your container is packed and sealed, it will be taken to a dedicated site and you will not be able to access your items until they are delivered to your new home. This helps keep the costs down and makes it a very affordable solution. Andrew Porter Ltd currently has a special offer to make it even more cost-effective with 50 per cent off the first four weeks.
As your belongings are sealed into a container, they are very secure and very few people will have access to the warehouse where your container is stored. For your peace of mind, there is also 24 hour CCTV monitoring and a state-of-the-art alarm system on site. Make sure you don’t pack any items you are likely to need during your transition period and take any essentials you need on a daily basis with you to your temporary accommodation.
Once you are in your new property, your sealed container can be delivered directly to you ready to be unpacked in your new home, along with any other items you are moving. Andrew Porter Ltd provides removals services too, so this saves you the effort of organising a separate removals crew or arranging to transport your things by yourself.
