Storage Costs

saintastic · 2011-04-28 10:52:34

We're selling our property and are going to go rent for a year. We are thinking of putting some of our stuff in storage. Can anyone recommend any of the storage companies? Any tips/hints? How much approximately will it be? We're going to sell our couches and probably keep a few sideboards and maybe a bed. Thanks in advance.

Shop around and take all factors into account, including rental, insurance & managment fees, transport costs, likely rental time, access charges and how payment is taken. You need to work out if you want to buy or hire boxes. Spending 50c/week on a box builds up if you have to have 20 boxes for a year. There may be an advantage in having somewhere local.

Consider disposing of things if you are unlikely to want to keep them or they are going to go out of date, e.g. a computer.
