Self Storage Units in London

The pricing of a self-storage unit in London depends on several factors, including its proximity to transportation routes and how central it is, the dimensions of the unit, and the nature of storage provided. For instance, a 30sqft indoor storage room in West Molesey could cost around £35 per week inc VAT, whereas a standard 160sqft external shipping container type storage unit near Hackney, similar to the dimensions of a 20ft shipping container, is roughly £60 per week including VAT. On Explorage.com, the quoted prices reflect the standard rates inclusive of VAT. Furthermore, our network of storage operators in London honour the same discounts as if you were dealing directly with them. This advantage allows you to make on-the-spot reservations, knowing you're benefiting from a price guarantee. Initial markdowns are a common offer from storage operators, which can be particularly advantageous for short-term storage plans. However, if you foresee needing the storage unit beyond the discount duration, it's wise to contrast the standard prices to understand the ongoing costs.

Naturally self storage in London is going to cost slightly more than storage in more spread out areas or wider regions. Like any type of property, in a capital city prices are typically higher, since the demand is higher, and space is at a premium. Having said that given the premium space your self storage unit will occupy, self storage prices in London are competitive, and could be a great alternative for you, than renting a larger flat for example, or taking prime business space in the city centre when you might not actually need to access all of your things all the time.

Similar to other areas in the UK, self storage in London generally operates on a rolling contract model, offering you the flexibility to rent for any duration you require, whether short-term or long-term. Be aware of the typical notice periods required to terminate your contract, which are usually around four weeks - although in London many storage operators are more flexible on this and food some you don’t even need to give notice. It's not unusual for storage providers to present incentives to encourage customers to commit to, and prepay for, longer contracts, such as 12 months. If you opt for such an agreement, the specific terms of that contract will apply. As with any contractual undertaking, it's always recommended to thoroughly review the Terms and Conditions before entering into a storage contract to ensure you fully understand your responsibilities and entitlements.

Self storage centres in London, like those in other parts of the UK, use unique security protocols and insurance schemes to guarantee the utmost safety for your possessions. Many are also checked by industry bodies such as the Self Storage Association. Detailed information about the security measures employed by each storage operator can be easily accessed on Explorage.com.
