No more sacrificing to get on the property ladder

The average house price is well over £220,000 now. For the first time buyer it may seem like an unachievable goal but it doesn’t have to be, thanks to some help from Cube self-storage.

The typical first time buyer tends to be either a single person or a couple, maybe with a young family. A one or two bedroom flat will set you back around £120,000 now in most areas, and with a deposit of around 20% you can get yourself onto the property ladder. If you manage to get to this stage than that’s great and you’ve done really well and should be very proud.

So you’ve been in your new property for a while now and are thinking about moving as you’re starting to fill every possible inch of your flat with you possessions and hobby equipment. But you can’t move yet because house prices are still too high. So what do you do, give up your hobbies and sell the equipment so you have more space in your flat? That doesn’t sound like very good idea, does it?

Well, thanks to Cube Self-storage you wouldn’t have to. We have various self-storage units with very manageable hire terms that will suit your budget. That sounds like a better idea! We don’t want you to sacrifice anything you don’t have to. We understand how hard you have already worked to get yourself onto the property ladder and we don’t want to see you having to give up anything you like doing.

If you own your own property or are in rented accommodation call in to our Uckfield site to see all the self-storage options we have for you.

No house and nowhere to store?

With the economy being the way it is, the sale of a house can take longer to complete now than it may have done a few years ago. If you get stuck in a long chain of house movers, having sold your house and need to move out, what are you going to do?
Well many people plan to move into rented accommodation for 6 months or so to help keep the chain from falling apart. This is a great decision for many chains and often helps everyone. The main problem people have though when taking this route is rent prices are also going up. So how do you combat this?

You rent a little flat for 6 months… “Perfect! keep the costs low” I hear you say.

What are you going to do with all your furniture then?
If you can’t move into your new house straight away and nothing else will squeeze into your rented accommodation, you’re going to need somewhere to store all your possessions aren’t you?
Cube Self-storage has the answer.

We have various size self-storage units for your possessions; we even have climate controlled self-storage units for your more sensitive items such as artwork or specialist collections. Our self-storage hire terms are flexible and we are sure we have an option that will meet your needs.
We don’t want to see your dreams fall apart and we want to help keep you in the chain. If you’re in East Sussex and you need self-storage call into our Uckfield site or call us to discuss how we can help with short term storage.
