Secure Storage During Your House Move in Christchurch
Property moves do not always go according to plan. Your sale may complete before your new home is ready, your moving dates may change, or you may need to clear your current property before handing over the keys. Having a storage unit gives you somewhere secure to keep your belongings while you work around changing dates.
A self-storage unit can help bridge the gap between properties without forcing you to rush your move or overcrowd a temporary home.
You can use our Christchurch storage units for:
- Sofas, beds and wardrobes
- Tables, chairs and other furniture
- Boxes of clothes and household belongings
- Kitchen equipment and appliances
- Books, pictures and decorations
- Garden furniture and seasonal items
- Belongings stored between completion dates
Whether you need to store a few boxes or the contents of an entire property, we can help you find a suitable unit. Get in touch with us today.
Why Use Self Storage When Moving House in Christchurch?
When you have self-storage booked you don’t need to be in a rush anymore. Every step of packing and moving can be gradual and you can organise it all at your own pace.
Even if there’s a delay, you’ll feel much calmer knowing there’s extra flelibility with keeping your items in self-storage.
And if you need more time to decide what to keep, sell or donate, secure self storage can remove all preassure and give you a bit of time to think and plan.
Flexible Short-Term and Long-Term Storage in Christchurch
Every house move is different, so you may not know exactly how long you will need storage.
BoxSafe offers flexible storage terms where you don’t need to commit to a traditional long-term lease. This makes our Christchurch facility suitable for short-term storage between moving dates as well as longer-term storage during changes.
You can select a unit based on the amount you need to store (please learn about our container sizes here) and adjust your storage requirements if your circumstances change.
Clean, Dry and Secure Storage Containers
We know how important it is to keep household belongings protected while they are away from your home.
Our Christchurch facility provides clean, dry and weather-resistant storage containers within a secure, monitored environment. Security measures include 24-hour CCTV and gated access, helping to keep the site secure around the clock.
Each container is individually secured, and a heavy-duty padlock is provided, so you do not need to purchase one separately.
Self Storage With Convenient Access in Christchurch
Moving days can start early and finish late. Customers can access the Christchurch facility 24 hours a day, seven days a week, giving you the flexibility to visit your storage unit whenever you need it.
The storage containers also provide convenient drive-up access, so you can park directly outside your unit when you load and unload your items.
This can be particularly useful during a house move, because it usually involves loading of heavy or bulky items (furniture) directly into your container.
Storage Before Selling Your Home
Removing excess furniture and personal belongings can make your property feel larger for potential buyers and help them to imagine it as their own.
A temporary storage unit can help you clear crowded rooms, reduce the amount stored in cupboards and remove bulky furniture before photography and viewings. You can keep packed boxes and personal belongings out of sight, so your house looks most presentable.
Once your property has sold, your belongings can remain securely stored until your new home is ready.
Storage Between Completion Dates
If your property sale completes before you can move into your next home, self storage provides a practical alternative to moving everything into temporary accommodation.
Your removal company can bring your belongings to the storage facility, where they can remain until you collect the keys to your new property. You can then move items out gradually or arrange for your removals provider to collect them.
With 24/7 access, you can visit your unit when it is convenient for you rather than being restricted to standard office hours. This can reduce pressure on completion day and give you more flexibility when dates change unexpectedly.
Furniture Storage During Renovations
If your new home needs decorating or renovation work before you move in, storing furniture away from the property can help protect it from dust, paint and accidental damage.
It can also give builders and decorators more room for work. So if you are planning to update your kitchen or bedroom, or maybe replace your flooring, booking Christchurch storage can be a great idea.
Storage for Downsizing
If you’ve decided to move to a smaller home, there’s no need in disposing items that you won’t need.
Instead, you can place them into storage while you decide what will fit in your new property. This gives you time to sort through belongings carefully, pass items to family members or arrange to sell or donate them.
A storage unit can also provide additional space for seasonal belongings that you want to keep but do not need at home throughout the year.
Choosing the Right Storage Unit for Your Move in Christchurch
The unit size you need will depend on the size of your property, the amount of furniture you are storing and how efficiently your belongings are packed.
As a general guide, a smaller unit may be suitable for boxes, suitcases and selected household items, while a medium-sized unit could hold the contents of a flat or several rooms. If you are moving from a larger family home, you may need substantially more space.
Dismantling furniture and using stackable boxes can help you make better use of the available space. Our team can discuss what you are storing and help you choose an appropriate unit without paying for substantially more space than you need.
