Let’s face it – space is a hot commodity in the rental market. As a landlord, you’re always on the lookout for ways to make your property more appealing without breaking the bank. Well, here’s a trick that might just give you the edge: self-storage.<\/p>\n

The space squeeze<\/strong><\/p>\n

We’ve all been there. You find a great flat in the perfect location, but the wardrobe space is laughable, and forget about storing that bike or those winter coats. It’s a common headache for tenants, especially in bustling city centres. But what if you could offer a solution?<\/p>\n

\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

Self-storage: your secret weapon<\/strong><\/p>\n

Enter self-storage – the unsung hero of the rental world. It’s a flexible, affordable way to tackle space issues without knocking down walls or sacrificing that spare room. By teaming up with a local storage facility, you can offer tenants a lifeline for their space woes.<\/p>\n

Matt Wallace,\u00a0a director at Paylessforstorage<\/a>, a company that’s shaking up the storage game, puts it bluntly: “Storage can be expensive. It’s also a service where people don’t want to pay any more than they absolutely have to. No one wants to pay more for storage – once a certain criteria has been satisfied. They need storage that is clean, dry and secure.”<\/p>\n

What’s in it for you?<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Stand out from the crowd<\/strong>: In a sea of similar listings, offering storage options can make your property the catch of the day.<\/li>\n
  2. Cha-ching<\/strong>: With added value comes the potential for a rent bump. Ka-ching!<\/li>\n
  3. Less wear and tear<\/strong>: Fewer bulky items knocking about means less potential for dings and dents in your property.<\/li>\n
  4. Flexibility is key<\/strong>: Need to store stuff during a quick refurb or between tenants? Problem solved.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Happy tenants, happy life<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
    1. Room to breathe<\/strong>: Tenants can enjoy a clutter-free pad without parting with their prized possessions.<\/li>\n
    2. Roll with the changes<\/strong>: Life’s unpredictable. Storage needs? Not so much with this flexible option.<\/li>\n
    3. Fort knox vibes<\/strong>: Professional storage often comes with better security than a garden shed or attic.<\/li>\n
    4. Wallet-friendly<\/strong>: It’s often cheaper than upgrading to a bigger place.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

      Making it happen<\/strong><\/p>\n

        \n
      1. Team up<\/strong>: Find a storage facility that won’t break the bank but still keeps things safe and sound.<\/li>\n
      2. Package deal<\/strong>: Throw in storage as part of the rent or offer it as an extra. Your call.<\/li>\n
      3. Shout it from the rooftops<\/strong>: Make sure your listings sing about the storage perks. It could be music to a potential tenant’s ears.<\/li>\n
      4. Spread the knowledge<\/strong>: Give your tenants the lowdown on making the most of their storage space.<\/li>\n
      5. DIY storage<\/strong>: Got some dead space in the building? Transform it into secure storage units for a real USP.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

        Matt Wallace’s on board with keeping costs down: “We provide storage at a fraction of the cost of the large national chains. Our goal is to be a storage company that continues to defy the ridiculous prices of the large national chains. Provides a great service to their customers – storage that is clean, dry and secure at a fraction of the price.”<\/p>\n

        The crystal ball of storage<\/strong><\/p>\n

        As cities get cosier and flats potentially shrink, the need for a bit of extra space isn’t going anywhere. Getting on board with storage solutions now could set you up nicely for the future.<\/p>\n

        Wallace’s got his finger on the pulse: “Self-storage is becoming increasingly popular and increasingly competitive.” Sounds like now\u2019s the time to get in on the action, doesn’t it?<\/p>\n

        By thinking outside the box (or should we say, inside the storage unit?), you’re not just renting out four walls and a roof. You’re offering a slice of the good life – a home where everything has its place, even if that place is down the road in a secure unit.<\/p>\n

        So, why not give it a go? Your future tenants (and your wallet) might just thank you for it.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
