Though, if you are looking for some of the reasons as to why you should choose us and some of the benefits of self-storage, make sure to read on below.
Declutter Your Home Space
Especially if you have a family home, it is very easy for your space to become cluttered and crowded with belongings. We all live busy lives and finding a place to store all this ‘stuff’ can be hard when you have to take the time to sort each item. Though, too often do we simply throw everything in a spare room or the garage, to say that we’ll sort it soon, and never end up doing so.
Self-storage is an excellent way to give yourself space to breathe and keep your home tidy. You can move as much as you see fit into self-storage and store it there for as long as you need until you can either sort through it or decide further as to what you want to do. Then, you’ll have the peace of mind that all your belongings are safe and secure until they are needed.
This way, you don’t need to risk making a rash decision and throw out something you’ll need down the line. You can put it into self-storage and give yourself some time to think.
Keep Your Items Secure from Theft
If you’re not confident about the security of your home, or garage, and want to keep slightly more valuable and personal belongings safe, then self-storage can be an excellent choice. You can safely store your items and put all those worries to rest.
In fact, here at AVM Storage and Shipping, all of our containers are completely safe and secure. Our facility is highly secure and benefits from around-the-clock security and CCTV monitoring, so you have the peace of mind that all of the items that you store with us are safe. We also have the latest security systems, to prevent unauthorised personnel from entering our facility.
A New Business Space
Did you know that self-storage spaces aren’t just suitable for your personal belongings? They can also be an excellent choice for your business and a space for stock, to help it get off the ground.
A self-storage space is great for your business assets, and you can even use it to house a workstation to work from. A storage unit is also good for a video or photography-based business. In fact, the possibilities are endless!
Moving Home
If you’ve moved home before, you’ll recognise the stress that comes from getting all your belongings in order to move. You have so much to think about and moving everything is just one small part of that.
A self-storage unit can be a great place to store your items whilst you move into your new home. Then, you can gradually move, box by box, to make the process easier and a lot less stressful.
What’s more, if your moving chain doesn’t work as planned, then self-storage can provide a solution for your belongings whilst you sort and manage everything.
A Solution For Student Belongings
Don’t be misled into thinking that storage units are just for families and business owners, either. They can be a great choice for students to make moving into their new university accommodation much easier.
Not everyone lives in a large home whilst at uni, so if you find that you have more belongings than you can find a space for, then you can even leave them in self-storage on a long term basis. You even have the peace of mind that your belongings are safe and secure.
It also means that it doesn’t have to stay at your parent’s house either!
Seasonal Items Storage
Not everything you own will be needed all year round. Such as skis, winter clothes, Christmas decorations in the summer and deck chairs and garden furniture in the winter. So, rather than try and cram these items somewhere in your home and take up precious space, why not put them into self-storage?
This way, your home is kept tidy and you have the peace of mind that these items are completely safe.
Downsize Your Home
Maybe you’re heading towards your retirement years and you’re thinking of downsizing. Self-storage will allow you to store your belongings that you no longer have space for in your smaller home.
You can even store certain items that you’d like to pass down to children one day, so they remain safe and secure.
Going Travelling
Maybe your job requires you to travel often, or maybe you enjoy it simply as a hobby. Though, bulky items are simply impossible to take away whenever you leave home. These are items perfect for self-storage.
Start a New Hobby
If you’re starting up a new hobby, sometimes you can find that items you collect as a result of this are too bulky to store at home. Whether it’s biking, or surfing, or something else, it won’t cost a fortune to store and you’ll know that your potentially expensive equipment is safe.
Flexibility
Perhaps one of the most significant benefits of choosing self-storage is that it is entirely flexible. We can offer our self-storage for as little as a week or as long as you need. There are no lengthy contracts that you’ll be locked into when it’s not necessary.

Here at AVM Storage and shipping, we hope that our guide on the benefits of choosing self-storage has shown you the true benefits and value of the service. As a company, we can help you find the perfect self-storage solution for you and your items and make sure that the whole process is a breeze.
