Moving abroad? Short and long term storage solutions...
 

Whether it be for business or pleasure, moving abroad is often for the long term. Perhaps you’re unsure about how long you’ll be gone for? Maybe you’ve decided to sell your house but don’t want to ship everything over to your new destination? Or maybe you’re only going for a 2 or 3 year period, are moving to a furnished house for all or part of your stay and want to sell or rent your UK house out while you’re gone? You probably don’t want to come home and have the hassle of starting again from scratch, which is where long term storage could be the perfect option.
Being able to store your furniture and other household items safely whilst out of the country not only saves you money in the long run, but also offers the perfect peace of mind – all of your belongings will be secure, in one location and will be kept exactly as you left them.

Short term storage can also be useful if you're staying in rented accommodation whilst looking for a permanent property and aren't ready for your household goods to arrive straight away. Why not arrange short term storage, this should be available either at origin or destination.

And for the stuff you actually don't want to keep? You could clear out your clutter and earn yourself some extra cash in the process by sending your things to auction. You could consider ebay or online auctions, or ask your moving company how they can help. For example at Bournes we not only have a range of storage solutions, but we can also help arrange for the things you no longer want or need to be taken to our local auction house. We work in partnership with Rye Auction Galleries, who can sell anything you no longer want or need on your behalf. For more information on this bespoke service, please click here.
