Chains slip. When the sale completes before the purchase, your belongings need somewhere to be — ideally with the same company that's already carrying them.
How a bridged move runs
- We load as normal on your completion day.
- The load goes to our secure Birtley yard rather than a new address.
- It stays for as long as the gap lasts — a night, a week, a month.
- We redeliver and place it when the new property is yours.
Why one company for both matters
Splitting the job means your furniture is handled twice as often and responsibility gets blurry. Keeping the move and the storage together means one inventory, one insurance position and one phone number when the date moves again.
Planning for the uncertainty
- Keep an essentials suitcase out of the load.
- Mark anything you might need mid-gap so we can keep it accessible.
- Tell us the moment your dates firm up — redelivery slots book quickly.
Common questions
Can you store for just one night?
Yes. Overnight holds because of a late key handover are common and straightforward.
What if the delay extends?
Storage is flexible, so an extra week or an extra month is just a change to the dates.
Is my furniture insured while stored?
Yes, your goods are covered while in our care — we'll confirm the specifics with your quote.
