Self Storage Scotland
The Self Storage Supermarket Scotland provides the Storage solution for you in Scotland. As Scotland is a sparsely populated country Self Storage is still only prevalent in the larger towns and Cities. For that reason the Self Storage Supermarket is only covering these areas, for now. Over time Self Storage will come to those in the more remote areas like The Borders, Dumfries & Galloway and the Highlands & Islands. As the Self Storage market grows in Scotland it won’t be long before Self Storage facilities show up in remote locations like Stornaway. The Self Storage Supermarket is currently covering the areas of Aberdeen, Dundee, Inverness, Kilmarnock, Glasgow, Perth and all the surrounding areas.
Self Storage is a relatively new product to Scotland however it has existed in Aberdeen, Edinburgh, Glasgow and Dundee for some time. There is now a strong demand for Self Storage services in the major cities. In Edinburgh which boasts about 15 Self Storage facilities as well as having a few mobile storage companies serving the Edinburgh population. Edinburgh is a very strong market due to the transient nature of the population. Self Storage is popular in Edinburgh due to a high number of students moving in and out of the city, a buoyant housing and rental market, strong migration and immigration from England and Europe, a wealthy population, high number of flats, and a strong financial sector. These are all ideal conditions for successful Self Storage companies to profit in Edinburgh.
In Glasgow the Self Storage Market is different and there are fewer Self Storage operators in Glasgow despite a larger population than Edinburgh. However Glasgow still has around 12 Self Storage centres with more in the pipeline. Glasgow is also served by mobile storage operators and has a higher number of small Storage companies and container storage providers. Glasgow is dominated by one of the large National Self Storage companies which purchased a Scottish Self Storage business to establish itself in Glasgow and Edinburgh. Glasgow with a poorer population, a weaker housing market, a weak economy, high concentration of social housing, and higher density of houses rather than flats all adds up to weaker demand for Self Storage.
In Dundee the problems are similar to that of Glasgow with high levels of social deprivation however for a city with only 250,000 people Dundee now boasts 5 Self Storage Centres including a major national chain. Kilmarnock again with high levels of social deprivation and a small population of approximately 80,000 has only one Self Storage facility and it is a conversion from a removal premises. Perth and Inverness although small are wealthy towns and both have a couple of Self Storage centres. Here at the Self Storage Supermarket we will provide quotes from at least 4 storage providers in your town. All the towns we list have Storage provision whether Container Storage, Mobile Storage, Self Storage or Removal Company Storage
