We have had an offer on our house on Sunday!
Thought we'd put our stuff into storage , rent a small house until we move downunder. Has anyone else done this?
What sort of cost am I looking at, per cu ft?
Did you use a 'self store' company or a removal company or the shippers that would eventually move you to NZ?
Help- it's so daunting when you open the yellow pages and see page after page of storage/removal/shipping companies!

Congrats on the house! Huge worry taken away that is. Our stuff is getting shipped by Fleet/Britannia,and they offered us free storage for 3 months,but dunno how much it is after that. Anyway-once the house is sold,doesn't it become scarily real? :scared: Good luck. Danny

Danny
3 months free sounds good!

Once we move out of this house we are half way to the dream!
But strangely, hubby and I both felt kind of numb today-anti-climax have we really got a buyer already?We thought it would take 6 months to sell, not 2 days!! and is this really going to happen? we still have a way to go so don't want to get too excited. We've read of too many houses falling through on BE.

Too true. We had the same prob to start with. Thought we'd put our house up for sale,thinking it would fetch it's top price during/end of summer,forgetting every one wants property that has side space to extend-low and behold-gone to the second viewer who has since gutted it-crying like babies we were! All done and gone in two months.
Dead lucky though-friend of a friend can't sell their house but have moved on
so we are renting-but if they find a buyer we screwed.Will have to live with the furniture in storage. Sometimes still can't believe we going to do what we thought was just a dream. Terrifying-but exciting. Just want to go now.
