What moves the price
- Volume of belongings — a removal firm prices by cubic space and crew time, so each extra bedroom adds a van and hours
- Distance between homes — a long-distance removal needs a full day on the road and sometimes an overnight crew
- Packing service — having the removal crew pack the house adds labour and boxes to the quote
- Access at both homes — stairs without a lift, narrow lanes or a long walk to the van slow the crew
- Completion day — Fridays, month ends and the school summer holidays are when removal firms are busiest
- London and the South East — the same house removal there is quoted noticeably higher than in the North

How to pay less
- Declutter before the removal survey so the firm quotes for fewer cubic metres and a smaller van
- Choose a midweek, mid-month move date rather than a Friday or the last days of the month
- Pack the boxes yourself and pay the removal crew only for fragile items such as glass and pictures
Before you book
- Ask for a written removal quote after a survey, so the price does not change on the day
- Check the removal firm's goods-in-transit cover and whether it has joined the British Association of Removers
- Book parking or a suspension outside both homes in good time so the removal van can stop close by
- Confirm whether the quote includes VAT, packing materials and dismantling beds and wardrobes
Home Removals cost: questions people ask
£300–£3,200, with about £1,200 a fair figure for a local family move. A one-bed flat moving across town costs least; a three-bed house travelling a long distance with full packing costs most.
A one-bed flat usually takes half a day and most three-bed houses take a full day. Long distances, packing and difficult stairs can push a move into a second day.
It helps. Members of the British Association of Removers agree to the association's standards, and its advance payment guarantee is there to protect money you pay a member firm before the move.
Most can. Belongings are loaded on the day, held in containers or a warehouse, and delivered when the keys are released, with storage charged weekly or monthly.
Packing labour and boxes, dismantling furniture, storage, piano moves and parking suspensions are usually priced as separate extras.
