The short answer

Removal storage lets the same team collect your belongings, keep them in storage for as long as you need, and deliver them when your new home is ready. It is useful for broken chains, renovations, rentals between purchases and downsizing.

When storage helps

Storage is most useful when life doesn't run to the conveyancers' timetable.

  • Your sale completes before your purchase
  • You're renting between homes
  • Your new home needs work before you move in
  • You're downsizing and haven't decided what to keep

How it works with your removal

With a removal company that also provides storage, it's one plan: pack, load, store, then deliver. There is no need to hire a van, move items twice yourself or deal with a separate storage business.

Preparing items for storage

Good packing matters even more when belongings will be stored.

  • Label boxes clearly with the room and the contents
  • Keep an inventory of what's going into storage
  • Keep essentials you'll need soon with you
