Being on a high flooring 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 company will hire more people to accelerate the move, however you’ll pay for a larger group.

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