Self-storage is a great option if you have furniture or belongings that you’re not using but don’t want to throw away. In this article, we will look at the average cost of self-storage in the UK.
The cost of self-storage is often the most important factor for most people. However, other important factors to consider are security, 24-hour access and the standard of the storage facilities. The lowest-priced option may not always be the best choice, especially when it comes to storing your personal belongings.
Most self-storage facilities will provide you with a quote completely free of charge and without any further obligation. They will be able to give you a quote based on your individual storage needs. To help decide what you might need it is a good idea to first decide exactly what you will be storing as this will tell you how much space you will need.
The prices of self-storage will vary depending on each storage facility. Some estimates will charge you £22 per week for a 50 square feet container, which would cost £1155 if you were planning on storing your belonging for a year.
Location will have a big influence on the cost of self-storage and prices will vary depending on the different regions of the UK. Self-storage in London is typically quite a bit more expensive when compared to the north of England. It is worth getting in touch with storage facilities in your area for a more accurate estimate of how much you can expect to pay.
Several other factors will affect how much you can expect to pay for storage, including:
• Size of the storage unit
• Length of time you need the storage
• Other facilities such as security and 24-hour access
• Insurance
• Location
