The cost of moving a house in the UK is usually between £299 and £1,450, depending on things like the size of the home and how far it is. One of the major things you can do to minimise the cost is decided whether you want to pack your things yourself or hire a business to do it for you. If you pack your things yourself, you could be able to cut the price in half.
That's a great question. If you may choose the date of your move, the best day for removals may change, but in general, midweek days like Tuesday or Wednesday are cheaper than weekends or Mondays.
Most of the time, the price of moving a house will depend on how far away it is and how many things need to be moved. For a 4-bedroom house, rates usually start at around £490. If you pack everything yourself and then just pay for the loading and moving, the price will normally be about half of what it would be otherwise.
If you're packing yourself, you should give yourself enough time to make sure that the quantity of boxes you thought you would need for your move is still correct. This will help you avoid any extra charges on the day of the move. But let's be honest: you still have to live in your existing house for a while before you move, so you need to be smart about what you pack and when. We suggest that you wait as long as you can to pack things like the bed and important kitchen gadgets like your kettle. No one likes to sleep on the floor with no tea before moving day!
