Home sold, but moving after summer: what to do with your furniture
If you must vacate your home before the holidays but cannot move into the new one until September, storage can bridge the gap. The assessment includes collection, storage and redelivery, with an agreed inventory.
Calculating the waiting period
Give an expected move-in date and state whether it depends on building work or receiving the keys. Ask how storage extensions are handled and what terms apply to redelivery.
Setting aside what you will need over the summer
Before collection, set aside the clothes, documents and equipment you will need. Retrieving individual items during storage requires checking how the service works and whether it is available. Prepare boxes with a clear inventory.
Scheduling the second move
When the home is ready, update the address, access details and furniture layout. Storage and return transport must be described in the proposal, along with the reassembly required.
Frequently asked questions
Can I extend the storage period if building work is delayed?
Tell us about the change as soon as possible. The department will check availability, conditions and the revised delivery arrangements.
What information is needed for a storage quote?
A list and approximate volume of the goods, expected duration, collection and delivery addresses, and required packing work.
