If you’re getting ready to move house, you’re probably amazed at how much stuff you have.
March 2 is Old Stuff Day – a date in the calendar which centres around getting rid of both the physical and mental baggage holding you back and embracing a new way of doing things. Do you really want to take everything you own to your next property or is your attitude more ‘out with the old and in with the new’?
It’s always a good idea to have a good declutter before you move, both to make your home look more appealing when you put it on the market and to reduce how much stuff you need to pack and transport to your next property. Renting a self storage unit can really help, if you’re looking to cut down on the number of items in your home.
Putting excess furniture and other items into self storage before you put your home on the market will free up valuable space, helping prospective buyers see the potential in your property. And if you use Andrew Porter’s Self Store in Adlington, Lancashire, you can take advantage of the free collection offer for new customers.
All our new Self Store customers can arrange for one of our professional BAR-accredited home removals crews to come to their home and collect their items for free. Our staff will then put your belongings into your secure unit for you, which is ideal if you do not have access to your own transport.
Stay safe at home
It also means our customers can stay safe in their own homes, avoiding any unnecessary journeys. Our team carrying out the collections will take precautions, including wearing face coverings and maintaining social distancing, to protect both you and themselves against the potential spread of Covid-19.
Of course, self storage isn’t just for decluttering. Many of our customers use our Self Store facility to store the entire contents of their home while they wait for their new property to be ready to move into.
And those who are downsizing from a larger property to a smaller one may use self storage for treasures they no longer have space for but cannot bear to part with. Others may be moving overseas on a temporary basis and want somewhere safe they can store their belongings until they return.
At the moment, Self Store is only open to essential businesses and customers who are in the process of moving house due to the current lockdown restrictions. Our free collection service helps limit the number of people who are on site and means our customers can stick to the ‘essential journeys only’ rule.
