I have a question about our 'moving house' plans, and I would welcome some thoughts about it.

We have a lot of stuff to get rid of, but also a lot of stuff, (furniture, workshop machines, steel and timber stock, heavy equipment, etc.) that will need to move with us.

My thoughts were to somehow find a local place that has shipping container storage, move it all there while clearing the house, and then move the shipping container when we know where we have moved to.

I don't know if there is such an option locally, at both ends.

I'd appreciate any ideas as to how to do this, or if you have companies that you are aware of that would work like this.

We are in the Greater Manchester are of the UK and moving to rural Wales.

Thank you.

@Maker_of_Things when we moved up to Scotland we ended up with the house in storage for a few weeks. They had massive "crates" about the size of a 3rd of a shipping container.
That service was provided by the removal company but was quite expensive and you'd not want to do that for any period of time.
You could try the national storage companies?

Who did you use?
It would be interesting to see what they would charge. Thank you.

I could move stuff to a local storage here, then get them to move it to local storage in Wales. It would be easier for them to be moving from storage than moving from the house in one go. 🤔
