When does moving house storage help?

Waiting for the property chain to complete

Property chains rarely complete neatly. If you've sold but haven't completed on your purchase, you may need to be out before you have anywhere to go. Storage means you can hand the keys over on your terms without cramming everything into a spare room or paying for a second removal.

Most people in this situation need storage for two to eight weeks. HOLD has no minimum contract, so you only pay for what you use.

Staying somewhere in between moves

Rented accommodation, family sofas and short lets rarely have the space for everything you own. Keeping the bulk of your things at HOLD while you stay somewhere temporary means you're living comfortably rather than surrounded by boxes, and you can collect what you need whenever you need it, at any time of day.

Renovating before you move in

Renovating before you move in is easier without furniture in the way. Store what doesn't need to be there during the work, then move things through room by room as each one's finished.

It also protects your belongings from dust, damp and the kind of accidental damage that happens on any building site.

Downsizing or clearing out

Moving to a smaller property means making decisions about what comes with you. Storage gives you the breathing room to declutter properly, without moving day forcing your hand. You can access the unit any time and bring things home gradually as you settle in and work out what fits.

25 to 50 SQ FT: one to two bedrooms

Perfect for a one or two bedroom flat. You'll fit boxes, smaller pieces of furniture and the kind of things that don't have an obvious home yet.

Temporary storage is a short-term self storage unit you rent during the gap between leaving your old home and moving into your new one. At HOLD, you book online, bring your belongings in using our free van hire credit, and access them any time via your personal PIN until you're ready to move out.

There's no fixed contract, so you only pay for the time you actually need. Most people moving house in London use temporary storage for two to eight weeks, though some stay longer if their chain or renovation runs on.

It depends on the size of your home. A one or two bedroom property typically fits into 25 to 50 sq ft. Three to four bedrooms usually needs 75 to 100 sq ft. For larger homes or a lot of bulky furniture, 100 to 200 sq ft gives you proper room to stay organised and access things easily.

If you're not sure, our team can help you work it out before you commit to a unit size, and our storage unit size guide has a full breakdown.

As long as you need to. There's no fixed contract and no minimum stay. Whether your move takes two weeks or six months, you're not locked in either way. You can also move up or down in unit size as your situation changes, so you're never paying for space you're not using.

Units start from £10.75 per week. New customers get 50% off their first 8 weeks. There's no hidden fees and we'll match any comparable quote within 3 miles. See our full pricing breakdown for more detail.

All HOLD units are individually alarmed and covered by 24-hour CCTV, monitored burglar alarms and fire detection systems. Entry is controlled and loading areas are fully lit. Your unit is accessed via a personal PIN that only you and any authorised users know.

If you need family members or a removal company to access on your behalf, we can set them up with their own PIN during reception hours.

Yes. Our reception team will take in and sign for parcels during reception hours. You can collect them when you come in to access your unit, at any time of day or night.

We're currently in Kings Cross, with new sites opening soon in Chiswick, Woodford and Croydon. All HOLD sites across London offer free 24/7 PIN access as standard.

The HOLD Box Shop stocks cardboard boxes in multiple sizes, bubble wrap, tape, mattress covers and packing supplies. Order online and collect on site when you come in. It's one less thing to source elsewhere on moving day.
