Moving to a new house comes with many stresses, headaches and inconveniences; there’s so much to sort out and prepare for. Whether you’re upsizing, downsizing or switching from rental to becoming a first-time buyer, moving home is a big undertaking.
In addition to letting all the relative authorities know about your move and changing your address on all the paperwork, you’ll need to hire a removal company to shift everything you own to your new home. It’s the perfect opportunity to have a de-clutter of all the belongings you’ve uncovered after years of collecting dust.
However, not everyone moves into their new home on the same day they leave their old one. So, what happens in the interim period where you’re not in your old property, nor have access to your new home?
Some people may be fortunate enough to have family and friends able to put them up for a few weeks or even months whilst they’re waiting for the property purchase to go through. But others may not have this option, especially if they’re moving to a new location, with no friends or family close by.
Here’s some options for temporary accommodation:
Once you’ve established where you’ll be staying during the interim, you’ll need to think about where you’re going to keep all your stuff – unless you’re lucky enough to have a friend with the space to keep your three-piece-suite, dining table, king sized bed, wardrobe and everything else!
