Moving house and storage

July 15th, 2011 | by admin |

You need to move house. Perhaps the children have left and it is time to downsize, or perhaps you need to move for work.

In any case you have to sell your home and move, but you have not found a place that suits all your needs to move to permanently. If property prices are rising, then you probably need to buy somewhere else anyway, as near as possible to your ideal, in case you are unable to afford the price of properties at a later date.

However, if the price of properties is stagnant, or if it is even falling or likely to fall, you may want to bank the proceeds of sale from your house and ait a while before buying, renting a home in the meantime. It makes sense to do this for several reasons. You will then be able to take your time to find the perfect place to buy. You will have a large lump sum to pay for a house so that a seller ill not have to be concerned about the possibility of your on sale falling through and you being unable to proceed with the purchase. That puts you into a strong negotiating position as a buyer.

The only downside to this is the issue of what to do with the house full of possessions that you have accumulated. After discarding those which you genuinely do not need, you can put the rest into self storage units. As you will only need the unit for a finite period, make sure that you have kept everything that you will need when you are renting, and rent a unit which does not include access. You will find this cheaper than renting the usual self-storage unit with free access to your things.
