Five things you didn’t know about self store to your door

Forget the excuses, it’s never been easier to put your stuff into storage. According to research, the Brits are a nation of hoarders. A survey by comparethemarket.com found that the UK uses a total of 37.6 million sq ft of storage space, which is five times more than neighbouring countries in Europe. And while most people clearly have too much stuff for their homes, one in three hate the idea of actually getting rid of their clutter. Putting your belongings into self storage to free up space in your home may seem like a time-consuming task. But the reality is that you can reap the benefits of storage with very little effort on your part. Andrew Porter Ltd offers a self store to your door service throughout the North West which makes putting your stuff into storage a piece of cake. Here are five things you might not already know about the self storage option.

How to plan your summer move

How to plan your summer move

When it comes to moving house, summer is the busiest time of year. Data from Compare My Move shows that 29% of all house moves in the UK take place during the summer months with August the most popular of all. One of the reasons many people choose to relocate during the summer is that the weather is less unpredictable and there are more hours of daylight. Parents with school-age children often prefer to complete their house move during the summer holidays to minimise disruption. This is particularly key if children will be going to a new school as a move during July and August means they can start at the beginning of the academic year in September.
