Container storage in Southampton
Before comparing quotes in Southampton, you'll need to decide whether you'd prefer self-storage or container storage. Self-storage units come in varying sizes and are located inside secure buildings owned by the provider. Whilst container storage consists of renting large, metal containers that are outdoors. Depending on the provider, they will be located in secure compounds or warehouses.
Container storage is as secure as self-storage because the facility can only be accessed by verified clients and staff members. Rest assured, all of our storage partners will have active CCTV overseeing the premises and modern fire and theft alarms.
The cost of container storage will vary depending on your location, the size of the container and the length of your contract. You may also be expected to book an appointment before visiting the premises.
Moving house storage in Southampton
Using container or self-storage when moving house is an ideal way to save money during the move. You might be in-between homes or require more space for your flat, so putting items into storage will really free up space.
Flats are the most popular property type in Southampton, so we can see why storage is popular as they often lack space. They cost on average £171,361, with terraced properties jumping up to £248,432. As flats are significantly more affordable than terraced properties, using self-storage to gain extra space for garden equipment or seasonal items can help.
You can also save money on your removal costs by not taking all your personal belongings along for the move. If you’re unsure about certain items or you may need them at a later date, putting them in temporary storage is an ideal way to save money.
