Flexible storage solutions to support your move
Moving house can be exciting, but it's also one of life's most stressful events. With so much to organise, a flexible storage solution can make the whole process easier. Whether you're between homes, dealing with delays, or simply trying to stay organised, Safestore can help you move with less stress.
Here are four practical ways self storage can support you during your move:
1. Declutter Before You Move
As you begin packing, it’s common to realise how much you’ve accumulated. Many removal services charge based on volume, so the fewer boxes you move, the more you can save.
Use a storage unit to set aside seasonal items like winter clothes, camping gear, or sports equipment well before moving day. Once you’re settled into your new home, you can collect those items at your own pace — or continue to store anything you don’t need straight away.
2. Bridge the Gap During Delays
In an ideal world, you'd move out and into your new home on the same day. But if your move is delayed, you may need to stay in temporary accommodation. In this case, moving all your belongings with you isn’t practical.
A short-term self storage unit gives you a safe, affordable space for your furniture and boxes until your new home is ready. Store your belongings for as long as needed, with no fixed end date.
3. Give Yourself Space to Plan
A new home is a fresh start — but it doesn’t have to be rushed. Move in your essentials first, and use storage to hold the rest until you’ve decided where everything should go.
If your new home needs decorating or renovating, it’s far easier to work without furniture in the way. Simply store what you don’t need immediately, and bring it home when you're ready.
4. Moving Abroad? Keep Items Safe Until You Return
If you’re relocating internationally but plan to return to Germany later, you can store your belongings securely for as long as needed. And if you decide to settle abroad permanently, it’s easy to arrange transport from your unit to your new location.
