Here are a few things that can have an effect on the cost of your home move:

Being on a high floor with no lift

If there are lots 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 reasons. Either it will take longer to move everything, so you’ll pay for the extra time, or the removal business will hire more individuals to speed up the move, but you’ll pay for a bigger team.

It is one of those unfortunate things that can’t really be avoided.

It may not be your fault, however if the removal group can’t park the van near your property, it’s going to take them longer to fill, which will cost you more.

If you can, set up any permits or parking gain access to ahead of time. Whether that suggests applying to the council for permits or chatting with your neighbours about blocking their driveway, the more you prepare, the much easier it will be.
Do not forget this applies to the property you’re moving into, as well as the one you’re leaving– making or blocking the road life tough for your new neighbours isn’t going to make the best first impression.

Garden products

When browsing your home, it’s so simple to forget the garden and miss it out from your quote. Additional items like garden furniture or a shed filled with tools is instantly going to increase your costs.
Work out beforehand whether you plan to take certain structures (greenhouses, sheds, play houses, climbing up frames) with you when you move, and whether you’ll be disassembling them yourself.
