My downstairs neighbour runs a removals company and offers long term (access within a couple of days, not immediate) storage which he outsources to a specialist/secure/insured firm elsewhere. He describes it as the easiest money of the lot.
We were ruthless when we last moved. Loads of stuff went to the tip before the packers came. Then more went to the tip (or had been earmarked for selling/donating) after the move.
Our rule was not to have any not-yet-unpacked boxes at the end of moving day (it helped moving in the morning and not having kids at that point.)
