If you are moving house soon and you are feeling a sense of excitement mixed with dread, you are not alone. Our storage rooms in Bedford are here to help. Read on to find out how. 

When you decide to move house, whether it is moving from your parents home for the first time, buying your first house, downsizing etc, it is a really exciting prospect. You will have the opportunity to make this new place your own, decorating it exactly as you would like, adding your own personality through the colour scheme and home decor. Moving house truly is exciting. 

But moving house is also often one of the most stressful things we do in our adult lives. In a survey conducted by Legal & General, they found that 57% of people surveyed said it was the most stressful life event, beating having a child (32%) and getting a divorce (30%).

Within this article, we are going to look at the reasons why moving house is so stressful and let you know how our storage rooms in Bedford will help ease some of the stress. 

Why Is Moving House So Stressful? 

One of the biggest reasons that moving house causes us all so much stress is the high level of change it brings to our lives. 

Nicky Lidbetter, chief executive of charity Anxiety UK, when speaking about moving house and the stress it brings, said:

“It’s one of life’s most stressful experiences, and it’s because it involves having to cope with change. Most of us like familiarity, routine and order. When you’re moving, you have none of those. Plus, it causes a ripple effect of change throughout your life.”

How Storage Rooms In Bedford Will Help You Ease Some Of The Stress 

Before we begin, we must say that we do not profess to be able to perform miracles. We will not be able to remove all the stress that comes with your house move. There will still be a lot of change and upheaval. But, our storage rooms will be able to ease some of the stress. Within this section, we will let you know how. 

Our Storage Rooms In Bedford Will Allow You To Be Organised 

One of the fastest ways you can add more stress to your move is to leave everything to the last minute. Packing, cleaning, redirecting your post, registering for a new GP – if you leave things like this to the last minute, you will only increase your anxiety. 

We can’t help you with all of the things you need to do but we can help packing and getting your old home sorted for the new owners to be easier. With our storage rooms in Bedford, we have a variety of sizes to choose, starting at 10 square feet and going all the way up to 300 square feet so we will have a storage unit that suits your needs. 

By using one of our storage rooms for your house move, you will be able to pack up all your belongings nice and early and then you can store them with us. This will give you the space you need to get your old home ready for its new owners, whether that is a lick of paint in some areas or a deep clean. If you feel like you could need some help with the cleaning, local cleaners, Maid2Clean, offer one-off house cleaning services in Bedford. 

Gives Your More Time 

Using our storage rooms will give you more time when it comes to your actual move. Of course, your actual moving day will be on a specific date but, if you bring some of your items to our storage rooms in Bedford, you can then take your time unpacking these items. 

This will ease some of the stress because you will be able to get your new home ready for you and really ease yourself into the change that you are experiencing. 

Your Belongings Will Be Safe And Secure 

When it comes to storing your belongings within self storage, you don’t want it to become another worry about whether your belongings will be safe. 

All professional self storage, like ours in our Bedford store, comes equipped with a high level of security features. All of our storage units are fitted with an alarm and smoke and fire detectors. There is 24/7 CCTV surveillance around the entire Bedford facility. 

You can rest assured that your belongings are safe and secure with us so you can get back to focussing on your move. 

Our Storage Rooms In Bedford Will Always Work With You

All of our storage rooms come with flexible rental contracts. This means that if at any point you need to change your storage unit – upsizing or downsizing – you are free to do so. You will just need to have a chat with the Bedford team and they will make it happen as quickly as possible. 

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

We know moving house is stressful and we want our storage rooms in Bedford to ease some of the stress so we make sure that our self storage always works with you and your needs. 

Other Ways To Ease Some Of The Stress

Along with using our storage rooms, there are some other things you can do to help to ease some of the house move stress. Within this section, we will look at some of the things you can do. 

Get Some Help 

A really simple way to ease some of the stress is to get some help. This could be asking friends and family for some help packing or unpacking. Or, if you have children or pets, see if they would be willing to look after them on your moving day. 

Another option is to recruit some professional help. Professional removals companies, like Bedford Removals, will be able to move all your belongings in a safe and concise way so everything gets to your new home in the same condition as it left your old house. 

Take Breaks 

Throughout the entire moving process, it is really important that you take breaks. This could be taking breaks throughout the day or taking proper breaks such as going away for a weekend. When you are moving house, there can be so much pressure to get everything done as quickly as possible but you need to let yourself rest. 

Add Some Comfort To Your Essentials Boxes 

When you are moving, you should have some essentials boxes. These are the boxes where you put all your important documents, toiletries, chargers, change of clothes, bedding etc. Pretty much everything you will need on the first day of your move. 

Along with all the things you will need, you should add some items that are going to bring you comfort on that first night. It could be a cuddle toy for your child, your favourite mug or a scented candle. Just something that will help you to feel a little more relaxed on that first night in your new home. 

Book Some Time Off Work 

If you can, it is a really good idea to book some time off work during your move. Not only will this give you time to deal with your move and fully focus on it but you will also have more time to set aside to relax. Booking time off work will also give you some time to adjust to all the changes that have taken place.
