Everything you need to know about finding a self storage business

You may require all or some of your belongings to be put in safekeeping while you are away or due to a lack of space in your new home or premises. Storage facilities are typically offered for personal customers or for the commercial sector – both of which have very different requirements. Self storage is a more convenient alternative to traditional storage facilities in that it generally offers more flexible access to your goods. Self storage facilities will typically offer a range of different sized spaces for rent, typically on a fixed terms basis, though pay as you go options are also available. When signing an agreement be sure to identify procedures for access as well as detailed checklists of all goods stored. Some facilities will also offer a removal assistance service which includes packing your goods, as well as provision of packing materials.

If you are considering a self storage facility, bear in mind the following before you decide:

• security - how secure is the location?
• weatherproof - is the facility likely to keep out the rain?
• climate controlled - precious documents and fine wine will require constant temperatures for extended storage periods
• access - does the facility offer extended 24/7 access to your goods?
• location - is the self storage facility easy to get to?
• insurance - is the facility covered by insurance to cover all eventualities
