What could make my home move expense more?

We work really difficult with our removal partners to try and make sure you get an accurate quote when using reallymoving, however there are always going to be a few scenarios that can include expenses to a home move.

Being on a high flooring with no lift

If there are great deals of stairs to get to your flat (and no lift), it’s going to cost you more to move. This is for one of two factors. Either it will take longer to move whatever, so you’ll spend for the extra time, or the removal company will employ more people to speed up the move, but you’ll pay for a bigger team.
