Thanks to bus routes, trams and trains it’s easy to travel in Northcote. That’s important as it’s close to Melbourne’s CBD and therefore a popular area to stay or work in.

But what happens with popular suburbs? Property prices increase. That means you’ll be hard pressed to find cheap storage these days.

To help locals find storage Northcote has to offer, a user-friendly platform was created. We called it Spacer and we’re here to help you find suitable storage solutions, no matter your budget.

What Makes Spacer Different?

You’ll find many storage vendors in Melbourne and across Australia. But their policies are often irrelevant to consumers’ storage needs. Why not try something new and enjoy these features and benefits?

Storage Types

Spacer’s storage hosts have spaces of all shapes and sizes to rent. That gives you practical solutions for most storage challenges Northcote residents face:

• Parking: Your car, boat or caravan can find a new parking spot instead of it blocking your driveway. Pick a parking close to home so you can easily get access to the vehicle or asset whenever you want. Both indoor and outdoor parking options can be booked via Spacer, so pick the one that will give you peace of mind that your asset is safe.
• Garages: Someone’s garage could be standing empty while you’re looking for a spot to keep a few boxes. Book a garage where your belongings can be kept safe and dry instead of cluttering your home.
• Rooms: An empty room in someone’s home is the ideal space to keep valuable items instead of keeping it in a damp cellar. Or perhaps you need space to keep your furniture for a while during a renovation project. Rather take them out of the way than risk them getting damaged. Book a room and rest assured dust or moisture won’t spoil your valuables while you finish the project.

Northcote locals use these self-storage types to store furniture during a move, declutter an office from archived papers or keep winter clothes for a few months during the year. Clear up space for a minimalistic lifestyle or keep valuable collectables where they can’t get ruined.

Can you see how many situations find solutions with Spacer?

Storage Prices

The many options for storage Northcote hosts offer you will be available at different rates. Prices will depend on factors such as:

• Location
• Security features
• Size
• Type of facility

If you need to manage your budget, determine what features are your priorities and opt for listings that provide you with what you need most. If you don’t really need security features such as a keypad entry system, rather opt for a unit at a lower rate that gives you a little more floor space.

Bottom line: you can determine your available funds for storage and search for a unit that will meet that budget, because there’s such a large variety of options. No need to break the bank when you use Spacer.

Booking Method

Of course, you don’t want your new storage to give you sleepless nights. That’s why we created a user-friendly booking method that benefits both hosts and renters:

• Renters browse the Spacer platform and view the cheap storage units Northcote listed. Images help you determine which ones are most appropriate.
• Pick a storage option in a practical location near your home, with the security features and floor space you need.
• Send a booking request to the host via Spacer’s platform.
• Hosts accept or reject these requests at their own discretion. For instance, if they’re on holiday or don’t want a car leaking on their garage floor they may decide not to accept a certain request.
• Once a host confirms a booking, payment is done via Spacer. We use your credit card and will send payment to the host each month.
• Contact the host, set up a meeting time and put your items in storage.

Each host has the prerogative to issue guidelines in terms of:

• Entry to property
• Requests to keep the area neat
• When and how you can get access to the space

Discuss these details to prevent misunderstandings.

Contract Guidelines

You decide how long you need the space for and book accordingly. You’re not forced into a long contract and expected to pay for services you don’t need anymore.

Storage Locations

A huge factor in rising storage prices is the location of traditional storage options. You’ll pay high prices for a storage unit Northcote if it’s situated in prime property areas.

With Spacer your options for storage Northcote are situated all over the suburb. If they’re not located near prime areas, chances are the rates are lower without it necessarily being a lower quality storage option. You can still get the security and floor space you need, only at a more affordable price.

In a changing society you need original methods to solve everyday problems. Spacer created a viable solution to find the storage Northcote has available.

You’ll find our hosts all over Australia. Will you start making use of the tools and make your life a little easier?
