Deciding to take a sabbatical is a big decision but it can often lead you to having an amazing time where you figure out where you want to be. If you are planning on travelling, you will need a secure place to store your belongings. Our low cost storage Shoreham will help. 

The decision to take a sabbatical and travel the world is a thrilling one. You will have a chance to hit the reset button, gain new perspectives, and embark on a life-changing adventure. However, the logistics of pausing life at home can quickly become overwhelming, particularly when finances are a concern. 

Most employers have regulations when it comes to a sabbatical and whilst some do offer paid sabbatical leave it is often only for a short period of time. Other companies and employers offer long periods but for only a percentage of your monthly salary, for example, a six month sabbatical on 30% pay. Whatever your employer’s terms, in order to be off for an extended period, you will likely either be unpaid or only earning a small percentage of your salary each month. 

Even if you aren’t going to be earning as much whilst away, you will still need a safe space to store your belongings. Our low cost storage will be the perfect solution. Along with giving you a secure place to store your belongings, it will also mean that you can rent out your home. This will help you to make money whilst you are away. 

Within this article, we will look at why you should use our storage in Shoreham whilst you are away.

The Financial Reality Of Taking A Sabbatical

While the idea of a sabbatical can sound amazing, there are a lot of financial matters that need thinking about first. As we have already briefly mentioned, one of the biggest factors is understanding how your employer manages pay during an extended leave. For many companies, a standard sabbatical policy dictates that employees need to have worked at the company for a certain period of time and that they will receive significantly reduced pay or sometimes, no pay at all. This drop in income can make maintaining current fixed outgoings, like mortgage or rent payments, utility bills, and insurance, a major financial strain while simultaneously trying to fund an expensive travel plan. 

Low cost storage will help as it will give you a secure space to store your belongings so you can rent out your home whilst you are away, if you own your home, or leave your lease on a rented property. These options will either make you money or, at least, save you some money. The income generated from renting out a property or no longer needing to pay rent will significantly exceed the monthly cost of a low cost storage unit. 

Maximising Rental Income With Low Cost Storage Shoreham

The difference between successful property rental during a sabbatical and a stressful experience often comes down to how the person deals with their personal belongings. Most potential renters do not want to be dealing with or worrying about other people’s personal belongings. And even if they are only renting your property for a few months, they will want it to feel like home. Having your personal belongings all around will not allow them to do that. 

Our storage will allow you to completely clear your home, allowing it to be a blank canvas for your possible tenants. This will make your home much more appealing to tenants, allowing you to rent your property quickly. 

Peace Of Mind With Secure Storage 

Along with financial worries whilst you are away, you will likely also worry about your belongings. This is why our storage is an excellent solution as all of our storage is equipped with high quality security. 

Each of our units is fitted with an alarm and smoke and fire detectors so your belongings will be safe from theft and environmental factors. The perimeter is well-lit and there is 24/7 CCTV surveillance around the entire Shoreham facility. 

Perfect Unit For Your Needs 

Our units in our Shoreham store range from 10 sq ft to 1000+ sq ft so no matter how much stuff you need to store with us, we will have a unit that perfectly fits your needs. 

Convenience And Accessibility

Whilst you are away, it can be a good idea to ask a friend or family member to check on your unit. Our Shoreham facility is located at New Wharf, Brighton Road, Shoreham-by-Sea, BN43 6RN. It is by the River Adur and across the road from Halfords Shoreham-by-Sea. 

We are just a 3 minute drive or 11 minute walk down Ham Road from the centre of Shoreham so any family members or friends who live locally will be able to easily check on your belongings. 

Flexible Rental Contracts Keeping You In Control 

Plans can always change and you need to know that your storage will work with you and your needs. We can happily say that our storage always will. All of our units come with flexible rental contracts so you alter your storage at any time. 

You can extend your stay or leave your unit before the rental period is up. Our storage will always work with you and your needs. If you do need to leave early, you just need to give us a short period of notice (please speak to the team for full details) and you will be refunded for any unused days. This is not offered by any of our competitors.

At our Shoreham store, you will receive 5-star customer service. Our Shoreham team will be able to help you find your perfect unit and they will answer any questions you may have. Whilst you are away, they are only an email away so you will be able to have complete peace of mind.
