1.\u00a0\u00a0 Don\u2019t store your clutter<\/h2>\n

Self-storage<\/a> is a great idea if you have minimum space but have too many items. Now you may have too many items as you are a hoarder like me, and that\u2019s fine as we live with the hope that one day we may need to use an item that we have been keeping. Some of us also keep items which we have inherited or been given as a present but there just isn\u2019t an ideal place to put it in the home. \u00a0In this case self storage is the best idea, but you have to be careful you don\u2019t start storing clutter in your self storage units, as you don\u2019t want to be paying to store you rubbish.<\/p>\n

There are multiple ways you can get rid of items which don\u2019t have any use to you anymore. The most common is selling online through websites such as eBay or Gumtree, meaning you will be gaining money from selling items that have been cluttering your house. You could also give items to charity shops if you are unable to sell them. \u00a0So there is no need to be storing your clutter and the less you have the less you will have to pay, even though these days you are able to find cheap self storage units. So to save money only store items you really want to keep, as hard as that may be.<\/p>\n

2.\u00a0\u00a0 Beware of Short-Term Offers<\/h2>\n

There are just so many deals out on the market and you can never be too sure if you have picked the right one or even if it is really a good deal or not. Deals such as huge discounts for the first month could be great if you are having to use storage for a short time but if self-storage may be a longer term commitment it may not be the most suitable deal. You should also take into account if they offer additional services such as collections and whether this is included into the price or not, as this could save you money and time. Check out a self storage price comparison chart<\/a> if you are confused by all the special offers – you can literally save thousands by shopping around.<\/p>\n

You should also be concerned about those amazing sounding deals as much as they might sound tempting it is likely to have hidden cost as it\u2019s just too good to be true. You ought to plan ahead and know exactly the amount you are going to have to pay for the time you items are in the self-storage unit, so that you are able to pick the cheapest option.
