How much does storage cost?

It depends on the volume held and how long for, so it forms part of your quotation rather than a separate price list. Because it is priced on the space your effects actually occupy, a part-household costs materially less than a full one.

Can I get to my things while they are in storage?

Possibly, by arrangement with the storage provider. Containerised effects can take time to access, so keep anything likely to be needed in the next few weeks out of the shipment.

Is it better to store in the UK or in Cyprus?

It depends on why you are storing. If the delay is at the Cypriot end and unpredictable, storing in the UK and shipping later usually keeps your options open. If the delay is short and the container is already sailing, storing on the island is simpler. The selected mover should explain which is likely to work out cheaper for your circumstances.

Storage Before, During and After Your Move

Secure storage at either end, on weekly terms, for when the dates refuse to line up.

How this service is provided: Move to Cyprus is the enquiry and matching service. We select one independent regional removal company for your postcode. That company confirms what it can provide, arranges the survey and issues its own quotation, privacy notice and contractual terms.

Almost nobody moves country with the sale, the purchase and the shipping all landing neatly on the same week. Chains slip, Cypriot completions run late, builders overrun, and quite often people move out of one home a month before they can move into the next. Storage is what turns that from a crisis into an inconvenience, and it is available at both ends of the journey.

Storage in the UK before shipping

Your effects are packed, inventoried and held at the appointed mover's warehouse until you are ready for them to sail. This is the neatest solution when you have to vacate a UK property before your Cypriot home is available, and it costs less than most people assume because the goods are already containerised and simply wait.

Storage in Cyprus after arrival

If the container lands before you can take delivery, your effects can be held in storage on the island and delivered when you are ready. The appointed mover may offer warehousing through its Cyprus destination agent, so goods stay close to where they are going rather than sitting at the port.

Flexible terms, because dates move

Storage is charged weekly with no long minimum commitment, so a fortnight's delay costs a fortnight. If you need long-term storage — people renting out a UK property, or trying Cyprus for a year before committing — the selected mover may quote a monthly rate instead.
