Moving out of storage? Why it’s best to get help from the professionals

Whether you’ve had to put the majority of your belongings in storage before making a permanent move, or simply have some items in storage that you now want to move to your home, there’s no doubt that moving out of storage is often more work than people think.

If you’re planning to move out of storage in Bournemouth, Christchurch or Poole, have you thought about how much hassle you could save yourself by contacting us at Removals Unlimited for your out of storage move?

Just think for a moment about what’s involved in moving out of storage. It can be easy to think it will be less hustle than a house to house move, but the truth is that there is very little difference between the two processes.

If you do it all yourself, you’ll have to work out the logistics of your move, hire a van or a larger vehicle (at times more than one vehicle will be required too), more than likely get help from friends and family, and probably take time off work in order to complete your move.

While you might save some money by hiring a van and doing it yourself, just think of the time cost to this process. What you have to ask is just how much your time is worth to you.

Consider the alternative: you call us at Removals Unlimited to arrange your removals in Christchurch, Bournemouth or Poole. Our team of professional removalists will take the utmost care loading up all the belongings from your storage unit and transporting them to your new home.

You won’t have to do the heavy lifting, or have the stress of organising every detail of the move.

What’s more, we have all the relevant equipment and materials to protect your belongings while they’re being moved. This includes the likes of protection that will keep everything from your furniture to your carpets dry and in pristine condition, even on the wettest and rainiest of days.

Even if you hadn’t planned to put any of your belongings in storage during the moving process, it’s a sad fact that situations can change, especially at the moment.

A survey carried out by the HomeOwners Alliance (HOA) back in 2018 before the pandemic hit found that there were 115,000 delayed moves a year in the UK. Aside from the stress and inconvenience, that may also result in you needing to put at least some of your belongings in storage if you still have to vacate your current home even if you aren’t able to move into your new abode.

The main reasons for delayed moves at the time of the survey were funds not arriving on time and sellers taking longer to vacate their properties than expected.

There can also be other reasons why you might have belongings in storage. For instance, last year the Guardian shared research which found that around 3.5 million single adults in their 20s and 30s are living with their parents, either because they have never been able to afford to move out or because they have returned to the family home following a life shock such as a job loss or relationship breakup.

For those who have moved back to their family home after living independently, putting furniture and other belongings in storage could be the only option available if they don’t want to sell their possessions.

Of course, when they are able to move out again, they will need to retrieve their belongings from their storage units and that’s where our team of experienced professional movers can help.
