With UK interest rates at their lowest level in years, there’s never been a better time to move house, downsize, or give your home a fresh new look before the festive season. And when you’re planning such a big change, arranging affordable self-storage is the smartest way to keep your belongings safe, secure, and out of the way while you move or renovate.
A Welcoming Shift in Interest Rates
On 7 August 2025, the Bank of England (BoE) reduced its base rate to 4% — the fifth cut since August 2024, and the lowest level since March 2023. For homeowners, this means borrowing costs are lower, mortgage deals are more attractive, and the housing market is picking up momentum. In other words: it’s a fantastic time to make your move — especially with Christmas and the New Year just around the corner.
Why Self-Storage Makes Perfect Sense Right Now
If you’re moving house, downsizing, or renovating, booking a self-storage unit can make the whole process easier and far less stressful. Here’s how:
- Flexibility During Renovations: Clearing rooms quickly means smoother renovation work and easier contractor access.
- Cost and Stress Buffer: Storage is often more affordable — and more convenient — than rushing into temporary accommodation or paying premium moving fees.
- Bridge the Moving Gap: If there’s a delay between selling and buying, storage gives you breathing space and security without the pressure to rush.
Whether you’re redecorating before the holidays, storing furniture between moves, or simply giving yourself time in a busy property market, self-storage is a smart, practical solution.
