In fact the best storage solution for most households, is right above the heads of the residents!
With storage space at a premium in most households according to a recent survey by the Australia Institute, people are looking up, rather than off-site, for safe, convenient storage and they’re making significant cost-savings in the process.
According to the survey, more than 80% of Australian households are desperate for more storage space and whilst self-storage facilities offer people the chance to de-clutter their homes by moving items out of crowded rooms, cupboards and garages, they do so at a considerable monthly cost.
Storage facilities are not always truly secured and people hiring space do so at their own risk in terms of theft, vandalism etc. You do not enjoy the peace of mind that comes with having your personal items close at hand and you have the inconvenience of needing to drive to the storage facility to access your own items!
A survey of 15 storage facilities in Sydney found that the average site charges $230.50 per month for a space the size of a walk-in-wardrobe, with insurances extra and costs fluctuating widely, depending upon the area and type of coverage. Over the course of 5 years, without any insurance, a person using a storage facility would be up for almost $13,000 and that’s not making any allowances for CPI or storage fee increases!
The Attic Group is Australia’s leading storage specialist and we have simple, safe, convenient and cost-effective storage solutions that actually add value to your home.
Many attics can be readily converted into practical storage space with the installation of an Attic Ladder. Our basic storage conversions cost as little as $2,000, the equivalent of just 8 months of storage rental fees.
As the market leader in attic ladders, attic storage and attic living, we have helped more than 50,000 households unlock their attic spaces and create usable storage and living areas, whilst de-cluttering their homes and adding considerable value in the process.
Our founder and CEO, John Stewart says it best:
“Most people are surprised to learn that up to thirty percent of the usable space in their homes can be found in the attic and they’re just as surprised when we explain how easy and affordable it is to convert that space. A basic conversion takes just half a day, whilst a clean storage conversion with ladder installation can be completed in as little as three to four days. Storing items in your own attic allows you quick and easy access that is safe, doesn’t involve getting in the car or having to remember a pin number or key and your items are covered by your existing home and contents policy.”
