There are many reasons as to why using short term storage is a great option for many people. Short term storage allows you some extra storage space without being trapped into a long-term, expensive rental contract. With our Mitcham short term storage, you will never be stuck paying for a storage unit you no longer need.

Within this article, we will look at the top reasons for using our Mitcham short term storage, along with what is classed as short term storage.

What Is Short Term Storage?

Short-term storage is typically defined as 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 when you need self storage for anything longer than 3 months. It is used by businesses to store their stock, as a constant extension to their home or whilst they go travelling for extended periods. Depending on where you rent your long-term storage, it can also lead to you being trapped within a rental contract which will, over time, become extremely expensive. Whether you go for short-term or long-term storage, you should always look for facilities that offer flexible contracts.

Top Reason For Using Our Mitcham Short Term Storage

There are many excellent reasons for using Mitcham short term storage. Within this section, we will look at what we feel are some of the top reasons for using it.

Moving House

Moving house is incredibly stressful. There is so much to do, so much change happening and so many decisions to make.

Using our Mitcham short term storage will help to ease some of the stress because you will be able to store your belongings with us whilst you get your old home sorted for its new owners and your new home sorted for you.

It will also mean that you pack nice and early, if you want to, and then unpack at your own pace. There is never any need to get a new home super quickly but it can be hard to not feel the pressure when you are surrounded by boxes. Our Mitcham short term storage will stop that from happening.

Renovating Your Home

Renovations are another stressful endeavour. Using our Mitcham short term storage will give you a secure place to store your belongings, where they will be safe from all the dirt and debris of a renovation.

Decluttering

Making decluttering a regular part of your home and work life is very important. Clutter is not good for us. It can have an extremely negative effect on our mental health, causing us to feel stressed and anxious. It also hinders our ability to focus and increases procrastination so it is really not conducive to a good work environment. Clutter can also worsen physical conditions such as asthma because excessive amounts of clutter will lead to more dust in your home/workspace.

Our Mitcham short term storage will help you to declutter by providing you with a space in which you can store items after you’ve decluttered. These could be items you aren’t sure what to do with or items you want to sell in the future. These items will be kept safe within one of our storage units.

Storing Seasonal Items

Mitcham short term storage will be a great place to store those items that you only need at certain times of year. This could be seasonal clothing, garden furniture or gardening tools that you need to store over winter. Or it could be winter clothes and/or winter sports equipment that you need to store over summer. Storing seasonal items will help you to have more room in your home.

Storing Student Belongings

During the long university holidays it can be hard to know what to do with your university furniture, particularly if you are moving to new student accommodation in your next year. You don’t want to have to drag it all to your parents house. They might not have room to store it and, depending on how far away your university is, this could be quite the task.

Our Mitcham short term storage will offer you secure storage in which you can store your belongings over the summer holiday or over the shorter Christmas period, if you are worried about leaving it all in your empty student house. All of our storage is equipped with state of the art security systems so you have complete peace of mind that your student belongings are safe.

Life Transitions

Going to university is a big life transition but there are many more that will happen throughout your life. Moving in with a partner, getting married, having kids, moving abroad, going travelling, getting divorced etc. These will all later your life and will often lead to you needing self storage in some capacity.

Our Mitcham short term storage will give you a safe space to store your belongings whilst you go through your life transition so you don’t end up making any rash decisions.

Business Storage For Start-Ups

When you have a start-up business, it can be tricky to know what to do when it comes to storage. Chances are your business has quickly outgrown your home but your business is still new enough that the thought of an expensive, long term storage rental contract fills you with dread.

This is where Mitcham short term storage really comes in handy. Short term storage will give you the space you need to store your stock and equipment so your business can grow to the best of its ability. But, as it is short term, you are not trapped with a long term contract if something changes within your business and you no longer need storage.
