When it comes to renting storage rooms Brighton, you will come across two types of contracts – fixed and flexible. Here we will discuss whether one is actually better than the other.

When looking to rent storage, you will come across two types of contract – flexible and fixed term.

But is one better than the other? 

The answer to this question is entirely dependent on what you need your storage facility for but, at Cinch Self Storage Brighton, we offer flexible rental contracts as we feel these work best for our clients.

Within this article, we will look at what you will be signing up for with each type of contract and which will work better for you. 

Fixed Term Contracts: Who Are They Good For? 

Fixed terms contracts, within self storage, work by each customer choosing a storage space and then giving the time period you want this space for – a start date and an end date.  You will be fixed to that storage space until the end date. 

They often come with a large price tag and do not allow for any changes or for you to leave your contract early.

They could be the perfect fit if you own a well established business and you know, for definite, how much space you need. Such as, if you need the storage for equipment instead of stock – you will know the size of all your equipment so you will be able to choose a unit that fits it all. 

Flexible Contracts: Who Are They Good For? 

With our storage rooms Brighton, we offer flexible contracts because we feel that they are beneficial for many different types of customers. Within this section, we will look at who flexible contracts will benefit. 

Flexible Contracts And Business Owners

Our research has shown that flexible contracts are often a vital part of a person picking a self storage company. Many of our customers are small business owners and their businesses are very new so flexibility allows for changes, whether good or bad.

With our flexible contracts that come with our storage rooms Brighton, you are able to change, add to or leave your storage unit whenever you need to.

If you need extra storage for a busy time period such as Christmas, our flexible contracts allow you to request this and we will do all we can to find you some extra space.

If you need a permanent change as your business is steadily growing and you need more space year round, a flexible contract allows this to happen because you are not locked into one unit for your entire contract length.

This is also the case if you need to leave your storage unit entirely. We simply need you to give a short period of notice and then you are free to leave. And at Cinch Self Storage Brighton, we will even refund you for any days you have paid for but haven’t used. 

Flexible Contracts And Domestic Clients

You fall in the category of domestic client if you are using your self storage space to make something like a house move or renovations easier. Or if you have had a clear out and you need more time to work through all your belongings.

And flexible contracts can be very helpful for you too. House moves and renovations can often take longer than you thought so the ability to have your storage unit for a longer period of time can be extremely helpful. It will take away some of the stress from your house move.
