Self-storage use is rising for UK home owners, students and business owners. An industry that originally started in the United States has become a popular choice in the United Kingdom since the 1980s. The interest in self-storage units Liverpool has only started to boom in the past year.

Thirty percent of the self-storage units in the United Kingdom are owned and managed by large corporations with five sites. Big Padlock, a leader in self-storage in the UK, operates from eight convenient locations, offering storage units in Liverpool. With many businesses shutting their doors during the pandemic, the demand for self-storage sky-rocketed, becoming an essential part of the logistics chain.

The self-storage industry has seen tremendous growth over the past few years with many companies, including Big Padlock, seeing a high demand for bookings. This has been linked to people downsizing their homes, lifestyle changes and more home-owners turning their homes into AirBnB rentals, along with an increase in Amazon and Ebay resellers.

Many people choose self-storage units Liverpool due to changes in their lives, including divorce, which is one of the prime reasons why private households look for storage options. After living together, one spouse needs to move out, often moving to temporary accommodation and putting their belongings in a storage unit for safe keeping until they find a suitable home.

Stephen Jones, the Financial Director at Big Padlock, said “a majority of our customers are going through a family bereavement and don't want to part with their loved one’s items. They choose to place them in a storage unit Liverpool until they have gone through the bereavement process and can decide what to do with the items. We also see a large number of small business owners that have limited office space, using the storage units Liverpool to store equipment they do not use regularly, storing documents and storing their stock. They can arrive, collect what they need based on order and ship it to their customers.”

Self-storage units Liverpool provide a cost-effective storage solution for customers looking to declutter their homes or when downsizing. It is a common option when selling a home and moving to a new property where there is a delay.
