Temporary moving storage — Storage facilities
Explain the gap between your move-out and expected move-in dates and how certain those dates are. Separate belongings you will need during the gap from goods that can stay packed, and provide access details for collection and eventual delivery.
Service scope
Short-term storage bridging a gap between leaving one property and receiving goods at another. The arrangement coordinates collection, storage custody and onward delivery while allowing for uncertainty in moving dates and access at both addresses.
What is normally included
- Move-linked temporary storage
- Inventory and custody handovers
- Planned onward-delivery coordination
What is not included
- Guaranteed delivery on an unconfirmed completion date
- Unlimited extensions at the original quoted cost
Typical tasks
- Establish the moving timeline
- Prepare the storage inventory
- Coordinate collection and intake
- Agree extension and retrieval options
- Plan release and onward delivery
What to include in your brief
- Collection date and address
- Expected delivery date and address
- Inventory and essential-access items
- Floor and loading access at both ends
- Packing and dismantling needs
Choosing the right professional
Ask how the provider handles a delayed handover, partial retrieval or a changed delivery address. Compare the complete collection-storage-delivery package rather than judging the offer only by the weekly storage charge.
Important considerations
- Property-completion delays can extend the stay
- Goods packed for storage may not be readily accessible individually
