Why shouldn't I use friends' or family's homes to store in?
Why shouldn't I use friends' or family's homes to store in?
Before you take up an offer of storage space from friends or family, it's worth thinking about a few things.
Firstly, you may find that the space they're offering isn't as secure as it could be - if it's a garage or shed, you'll need to make sure it's going to protect your belongings. And if you need to get your hands on something, perhaps once, twice, or regularly - how long will it be before a favour becomes a chore?
You'll need to make sure there's no chance of your belongings becoming mixed up with someone else's. And you really must ensure that they're fully insured - most insurance companies won't pay out for items not owned by the policy holder.
Instead, for a modest investment, you can keep your friends, and your sanity, and store your belongings safely in a fully self-contained secure Access Self Storage unit.
