How much does it cost to move house?

From packing boxes to shifting furniture, moving house can be backbreaking work without the right help. When the day finally comes, knowing the full cost of moving house in advance will help you avoid any surprises. When it comes to professional removal services, prices range depending on a number of factors, and it’s not always clear how much to put aside for the work. We’ve put together the following guide to house removal costs to help you budget ahead of the big day. When you call upon our help , we can make quick work of the job and a smooth transit, allowing you to relax and look forward to your new home. Please note: The costs in this guide do not factor in fluctuations in fuel costs, which could greatly increase the price you pay at the time of your move.

House removal costs

As a ballpark cost, expect to pay £50 - £80 per hour for two removal professionals and a van. Packing up is an exciting prospect, but it’s also a huge task if you’re moving house for the first time in a while. Leave it until the last minute, and you’ll soon discover the reality about how much ‘stuff’ you really own. While professional house removal costs may add to the price of relocating, it can save considerable time and effort, making for a smooth move every step of the way. The average cost of removal will ultimately depend on how far there is to travel and how much additional help you need with packing.

How much do house move companies cost?

At Cotswold Clearance and removals limited we don’t charge by the weight of your furniture – instead, they will provide a quote based on the scope of the job – i.e. how much needs moving, whether packing is needed and the location of both your old and new home. we may charge on an hourly rate basis if the move is very small, but will first consider factors such as access issues, what floor you are on and the distance of your move. Local and long-distance removals costs will differ depending on the location, move size, vehicles required and if an overnight stop is required for the removal team. So how much does a removal company cost? For local moves, removal companies may charge an average of £50 - £80 per hour for two removal professionals and a van for a small move like a one or two bedroom flat. For larger properties, a fixed price will usually be quoted, and additional services are usually given, like late key/cancellation waivers. We may come and visit your home to give a thorough survey and follow up with a written quotation. Keep in mind that we often have a 2-hour minimum charge for a ‘man and van’ type removal service. Long-distance house removal costs tend to be a fixed price. Because there are so many factors, it is best to get a quote to plan for your move.

What is the average cost of house removals?

For a local small move where both properties are within around 50 miles, you can expect a price of around £400 - £600.

Long distance removal costs

For longer-distance moves, add around £35 per hour and £1.50 per mile to get a ballpark price. If you are relocating to another part of the UK, the average cost will fall around £1,025.

Packing costs

Packing can make for tiring work – for an extra pair of hands to help with the job, we recommend budgeting around £200. This will account for the typical rate of around £50 per hour per packer for 4 hours. Keep in mind that the required packing materials (i.e. bubble wrap) may not always be included in this rate.

Factors affecting the cost of moving house

The total cost of moving house will be determined by the following key factors: Location If it’s local or long-distance removals Amount of furniture/boxes to move (scope of work) How many people are needed to help (moving heavy furniture will require a team of at least two) How many rooms in the property It’s difficult to estimate exactly how many hours will be required for the removal until you get underway. For that reason, we recommend booking your mover for the day at an agreed price or budgeting for more time rather than less when sourcing a quote. Unexpected issues could easily cause hurdles in the process, and it may be the case that you need more movers to handle larger furniture. Each additional team member will cost extra, so try to consider in advance how many professionals you will need. That way, you can put together an accurate budget before hiring a team.
