When using a self storage there are a number of tips to maximise the benefits the facilities offer, not least:-
1 Add Value
When selling your propery, decluttering can greatly assist its presentation and improve perception to prospective buyers
2 Facilities
Ensure your storage room is fit for purpose – your possessions won’t thank you for a poor environment
3 Packaging and materials
Should be robust and offer great stacking potential and content protection. Think of maximising the vertical space, not just the floor.
4 Term
It is always best to prepare to store for longer than you initially plan, typically things happen that scupper even the best made plans
5 Access
Ensure items that you may need to access are located to the front of your room
6 Plan
Identify what items are stored in your room and mark boxes clearly
7 Optimise
Collapse / dismantle possessions where possible
8 Retrieval
In larger rooms, leave small walkways that enable you to access its contents
9 Smart Packing
