At university, it may seem like you are constantly moving – from halls of residence in the first year into shared houses in subsequent years, plus often back home to your parents in holidays, and this makes it difficult to know where to keep your belongings.
Self-storage is an option, but if you are new to self-storage and do not know what it entails, here is our guide to everything you need to know about storage for students:
Do you need self-storage?
The first question to ask yourself is do you need self-storage? Space is often limited in student accommodation, and your parents may no longer have extra storage in your old family home. It is unlikely you are going to have enough space at university to store everything you own. In addition, you will make your life a lot easier if you are not constantly transporting items between university and home. Self-storage with Offerfair offers an affordable and convenient option to store all those belongings that you do not want to part with, but will not require whilst at university.
How much self-storage will I need?
We have self-storage units ranging from 15 sq ft to 180 sq ft, and whilst the amount of space you will need will depend on how much you are looking to store, we have found most students who rent storage space with us require our 25 sq ft to 75 sq ft units.
To help you visualise how much you can store in different size units, as a guide our 25 sq ft units would store the contents of a garden shed, our 45 sq ft units store the contents of a one bedroom flat and our 75 sq ft units would fit the contents of a Luton van. If you need more help in determining what size of unit you would require, then do not hesitate to contact us and we will be happy to talk through the options.
How does Offerfair self-storage work?
Renting a self-storage unit with Offerfair could not be easier! You can reserve a unit with Offerfair by calling 01424 718 168, completing an enquiry form or sending an email. We will then confirm your booking and allocate an alarm code to enter your unit, and you can then move your items in at a time that is convenient to you during our storage opening hours.
At Offerfair we have six self-storage sites across locations in Hastings and St Leonards, so our storage units are perfect for students in Sussex and Kent, and all the way up to London, as many students take advantage of our competitive storage rates.
