Moving house is a big deal. It is exciting – you might be moving into your dream house or your first home. It is an amazing and exciting thing to do.

Why Moving House Is So Stressful

Moving house consistently ranks as one of life’s most stressful events, often compared to job loss or bereavement. In a survey conducted by Legal & General, they found that 57% of respondents voted for moving house as the most stressful life event. 

But, why is it so stressful?

One of the biggest reasons for the stress is the sheer volume of tasks involved, from securing mortgages and dealing with solicitors to packing, cleaning, and coordinating logistics. It can all be very overwhelming. 

Then, there is the emotional toll of leaving one chapter behind while simultaneously trying to settle into a new one adds another layer of stress. 

One of the biggest stressors is that we have to get all the timing just right. Sales chains can collapse, completion dates can shift suddenly, and the overlap between moving out of your old home and into the new one is rarely seamless. This is where all of your belongings can really add to the stress because what do you do with everything if things do change? Our storage is an excellent solution. 

House Move Storage Exeter: The Perfect Solution

At Cinch Storage Exeter, we understand the pressures and the stress that comes with a house move. This is why we offer such practical storage solutions. Within this section, we will look at how storage will help. 

Decluttering and Getting Ready To Sell 

Before your house is even officially on the market, storage can be useful. When you are trying to sell your home, it is really important that you make it look as attractive as possible to potential buyers. There are different ways to do this and storage will be a big help. 

Removing Clutter 

Clutter is the enemy of a successful house sale. Rooms full of clutter look smaller and excess furniture can make a home look cramped. You can remove your clutter and bring it to our storage facility. 

Remove Personal Items

It is a good idea to remove personal items, such as photographs, as it helps potential buyers to picture themselves in the house. Box up these items and bring them to us. 

Clear Out Excess Furniture

Too much furniture can make a room look tiny and cramped. Store any non-essential pieces, such as seasonal items, spare chairs, or large decorative pieces. This will open up the space and highlight the room’s true dimensions.

Empty Wardrobes And Cupboards

Aim to have wardrobes and cupboards look about half-empty. This signals to buyers that there is ample storage space in the property which is a major selling point.

Using our Exeter storage facility allows you to move these items out of sight, creating a clutter-free, spacious environment that will appeal to the a wide range of buyers. This could lead to a quicker sale and a better price.

Managing Moving Day

The period between agreeing on a sale and the actual completion date is often fraught with uncertainty. Delays are common, and the original plan for a smooth transition can quickly unravel. 

We will provide you with the essential flexibility that you need during this phase. Within this section, we will let you know how we will help. 

Bridging The Completion Gap

One of the most common issues in a house move is the gap between when you must vacate your current house and when you receive the keys to your new home.

This could be due to a delayed entry where, for example, you have to move out on a Friday but don’t get the keys to your new home until the following Monday. You can stay with friends, family or in a hotel for the weekend but what about all your stuff? Our storage will offer you a convenient solution. 

Allowing For Professional Cleaning

Trying to clean an empty house while also managing boxes and furniture is nearly impossible. By moving everything into storage, you create a blank slate, allowing you or professional cleaners, like Blueglade Cleaning Services, to perform a thorough clean of your old property. 

This will be nice for the new owners or, if you are renting, ensure you get your deposit back. 

Unpacking And Making Your New House A Home 

Moving into a new home is exciting, but the immediate aftermath – living amongst mountains of boxes – can quickly become exhausting. Using storage will allow you to move in stages, making unpacking a lot easier and less stressful. 

Instead of trying to unpack everything in one weekend, you can use our storage units as a holding bay, unpacking items in stages, such as: 

• Essential Items First: Only move the absolute essentials into the new house immediately, e.g. bedding, kitchen basics, toiletries. These items can be moved in directly.
• Unpack Room by Room: Once the essential rooms are set up -kitchen, bedrooms-, you can systematically retrieve items from storage as you do each room. This allows you to properly plan where items will go without the pressure of immediate chaos.

This staged approach is also helpful if your new property requires immediate renovation or decoration, as your belongings won’t be in the way of tradespeople.
