Want to make some money from your junk room?

When space is at a premium can you really afford to keep your spare room or junk room full of…well junk!?

If you’re thinking “well no actually, I can’t”, here are a few suggestions that might help bring in some extra cash.

1- After clearing your room and sifting through your possessions, why not put any valuable ones on Ebay or do a car boot sale. In America, they have yard sales; how about a drive way sale?

2- Start a home business that’s a bit different to the norm! How about an art gallery, but on a smaller scale of course. You could display either your work or a local artist’s work. Maybe you could display photos, sculptures, flowers or homemade crafts.

3- Did you know if you have a spare room you could let it out to a lodger and earn up to a massive £4,250 before you have to pay any tax? It is a government initiative called “The rent a room scheme”

Any of these ideas are likely to make you money, but the thing stopping you will be where to put all your stuff that has come out of your spare room in the first place. Don’t let this stop you, give Cube self-storage a ring. We will be happy to assist you with a self-storage unit, whilst you decide what you finally want to do with that spare room of yours.

Call our Uckfield self-storage branch now and if you’re a new customer you will receive up to 30% off our storage unit hire.

Taking the leap over your GAP

Ok, so you going for it, you’re taking the leap! You’re having a GAP year and you’re going travelling around the world. How exciting is that? You’ve decided on where you’re going, the flights are booked, the accommodation is mostly sorted and all that’s left to do is buy yourself a new swim suit, right?

Wrong! What are you going to do with all your stuff you’re leaving behind? You’ve handed your notice in on your student digs; you can’t leave your stuff at your parent’s house as their still clearing your room of all your old things because they need it for a study. They’ve put it in self-storage for you for another day.

Ah-ha! Bingo! Self-storage! Why don’t you use you Cube self-storage like your parents are already? We even have a summer rate on student storage. Meaning you’ll have even more money to take with you on your travels.

You wouldn’t leave renewing your passport to the last minute would you? So make sure you’ve planned for your possessions to be put into self-storage whilst you’re away. We can arrange a storage unit for you at short notice if you do forget to arrange something though; you don’t need to make an appointment. Just call into our Uckfield site or call us and we will be happy to set you off in the right direction.
