Why choose storage during a separation or divorce?
A change of circumstances usually means rethinking your space and your priorities at the same time. Here is why storage with YouStock is the right fit while you get things settled.
Still looking for somewhere to live?
You need to move out of your current home quickly but have not found your next one yet. We store your belongings safely for as long as it takes you to settle.
Is your new place smaller?
You are moving into a smaller flat but want to keep furniture that has real value to you, whether sentimental or practical. Storage lets you hold on to what matters without crowding your new home.
Do you need time to sort through things?
A separation almost always means going through everything you own. Take the time to do it properly, without pressure, by storing whatever you have not decided on yet.
Are your assets still being divided?
While the financial side is still being agreed between you and your solicitors, keep contested or shared items in a neutral, secure location away from either home.
Are you staying elsewhere for a while?
Need some space, a few months at a family member’s place or a stint abroad? Store your belongings while you are away and we will deliver them back on your return.
Is your situation more complicated than that?
Talk it through with one of our advisers and we will find the right arrangement for you.

FAQ: storage during a divorce
When a couple separates, shared belongings have to be divided and at least one person needs somewhere new to live, usually before everything is agreed. Storage gives you a neutral holding place in the meantime, so you are not forced to make permanent decisions about furniture at the worst possible moment. It also means neither party has to store contested items in their own home, which tends to make the conversation easier.
Yes, when you compare it with the alternative. Renting a larger property purely so you have somewhere to put your furniture is by far the most expensive way to solve the problem, especially when one household income is now covering two homes. Storage costs a fraction of the extra rent.
With YouStock you also avoid the hidden costs of a traditional self-storage unit: van hire, fuel, time off work and the trips back and forth. We collect, dismantle, pack and transport everything for you. Because our teams pack efficiently and use the full height of the space, and because we bill only the volume you actually occupy, you pay noticeably less than for a fixed unit you have rented by the square foot.
If you have found somewhere new but it will not take all your furniture, storage lets you keep the pieces that matter without paying for a bigger property. Our warehouses are insulated and dry, so furniture, artwork and paperwork are protected from damp and mould.
Access is controlled, and our sites are covered by 24/7 CCTV, intrusion alarms and fire prevention systems. Read more about how we protect your belongings and our Premium Protection Plan.
Everything is logged in your online photo inventory. When you want something back, you select it from your account and we deliver it to the address you choose.
Yes. A lot of our customers store during the period between separating and the financial order being finalised. Your belongings stay in one place, fully inventoried and photographed, which makes it straightforward to show what has been stored and where it is. Please note that YouStock is not a legal service and cannot advise on how assets should be divided. Your solicitor is the right person for that.
For as long as you need. Weeks, months or years. There is no maximum term and you can cancel at any time without a fee.
Yes. You have online access to your full inventory and can book a partial or complete delivery from the same tool, whenever it suits you.
Yes. If you and your former partner are moving to separate addresses, we can arrange separate deliveries. Each item is photographed and listed individually in the inventory, so it is easy to select what goes where.
There are plenty of options and they are not equivalent, so it is worth comparing carefully. Look at what is actually included: with most self-storage, dismantling, packing, transport and every subsequent trip are on you. With YouStock, our team handles all of it, and we bill only the space used rather than a fixed unit size.
Check the condition of the space itself. If the storage is a basement or an unconverted outbuilding, damp will damage what you put in it. Favour contracts you can change and cancel without penalty, and make sure the full cost is set out up front. With YouStock, all terms are clear from the start.
