If you are moving to a new home, chances are you will find you have accumulated a surplus of belongings that you may not necessarily need. Some people may find it difficult to part with their stuff either due to sentimental reasons or perhaps they may be crucial at a later date. Alternatively, you may be contemplating selling or donating them, but do not have the time to get around to it yet.

No matter your reason for the extra space, a self storage unit would be beneficial to you. Here are some of the advantages that come with renting out this type of space:

Convenience

There are a myriad of conveniences that a self storage unit will afford you. For one, you can use this space as interim storage for items such as furniture if perhaps you may be waiting to move into a bigger residence. Additionally, these facilities will offer you the option of renting the space from week to week.

This means you do not have to pay for a long-term lease if you only need the space for a short period. Another convenience is that some facilities give you have the option of climate-controlled units. This means the temperature is automatically regulated to ensure your belongings stay in pristine condition.

This is especially convenient when there is extremely hot or cold weather, as you do not have to worry about it affecting your personal items. Lastly, some facilities offer the option of helping you move your belongings in and out, so you do not have to worry about lugging heavy things around.

Array of services

There are numerous services provided by self storage facilities. The first would be twenty-four access to your unit. This means you do not have to worry about never being able to access your belongings such as in the case of an emergency in the middle of the night. Another service would be pallet deliveries for your unit making it easier for you to move your belongings as you please.

Security

One of the best security features of a self storage unit is that you have the say on who can access your unit. Unlike storing things in your home where the other family members can easily access them, your self storage unit will be private and you can store your personal sensitive belongings there. Additionally, some of these facilities tend to have both CCTV surveillance as well as round the clock security. Thus, depending on your choice, you can rest assured that your items are safe.
