When thinking about self storage, it is easy to only think about it in a long term manner. Businesses in need of somewhere to store all their stock for years to come. People need more space in their homes so storing all those items they don’t need but also don’t want to part with. Many of us think of the shows all about self storage where items have been stored for years and then abandoned by their owner. 

But, self storage is so much more than long term storage. There are a vast amount of benefits to using short term storage. Within this article, we will look at our top five benefits for using Watford short term storage. 

What Is Short Term Storage? 

Before we actually begin talking about our top five benefits of Watford short term storage, let us actually discuss what short term storage actually is. 

Short term storage is typically defined as when you use self storage for anything less than 3 months. It is used in those short periods of time when you need some extra space. This could be because you are redecorating your house or may have someone coming to stay for a few weeks. It is an affordable and efficient way in which to keep your belongings safe for a short period of time.

 It differs from long-term storage in the ways in which people use it. Long term storage is used for 3 months or more and it is used by business owners to store their stock, as a constant extension to your home or whilst  you go travelling for extended periods.

5 Benefits of Watford Short Term Storage

Right, now we know what short term storage actually is, let us get down to discussing the benefits of using Watford short term storage. 

1. Flexible And Convenient 

Using Watford short term storage will give you a high level of flexibility which is a huge benefit for many of our customers. 

With our Watford short term storage, you are free to adapt your storage in any way you need to, at any point during your rental agreement. You can upsize or downsize your storage unit at any point. All you need to do is have a quick chat with our Watford team and they will make your request happen as quickly as possible. 

You are also free to extend your stay in your Watford short term storage, if you need to. Again, you just need to speak with our Watford team. 

And you can even leave your storage unit before your rental period has expired. We just need you to give us a short period of notice. 

2. Cost Effective Storage Solution

Watford short term storage can be a much more cost effective storage solution. You will only be paying for storage for the length of time that you need it. 

Many storage companies only offer inflexible long term rental contracts that do not allow for any adaptability and they are often extremely expensive. 

Whether you are going to short term storage or long term storage, you should always look for a self storage company that offers flexible rental agreements, like Cinch Self Storage. 

3. Moving House

Now let us get on to some of the life events and tasks that Watford short term storage will help you with. 

To begin, Watford short term storage will be a big help when you are moving house. Moving house is known for being incredibly stressful. In a survey, conducted by Legal & General, it was found that 57% of the people surveyed thought moving house was the most stressful life event. 

Watford short term storage will help as it will give you a place to store all of your belongings if you find yourself in between housing and having to live with family, friends or in a hotel. It will also allow you to pack nice and early as you can store everything within one of our storage units whilst you get your old home ready for the new owners. 

If your new home needs redecorating or some renovations done, you can store your belongings within our Watford short term storage where it will all be safe from paint, wallpaper paste, dirt and/or debris. 

4. Decluttering 

Decluttering is something that we should all be doing regularly because having excessive amounts of clutter in our homes is not good for us. Excess clutter leads us to feeling more stressed, anxious and it hinders our ability to focus. Clutter is also not good for our physical health as it can lead to dust building up in our homes which can lead to adverse health outcomes, such respiratory problems, asthma and allergic reactions.  

Watford short term storage will help because you will be able to declutter, in a way that works for you, and any items that you aren’t sure about, want to sell or simply don’t need year round can be brought stored within one of our storage units.

5. Business Storage 

When we think of business storage, it is easy to only think of long term storage which will definitely be the solution for well-established businesses. 

But start-ups and small businesses will benefit from using short term storage because they will not have to worry about being trapped into a long term contract if they aren’t sure where their business is heading or how large it will be within the next few months to a year. 

As we have already mentioned, we will always recommend that you find self storage – short term or long term – that offers flexible rental agreements. This way you will never be trapped in a rental agreement, no matter how long your lease is.
