Moving...

[hawkida]

Does anyone know the approximate costs of removals companies?

Specifically I'm going to be moving stuff from a reasonably full mid-size 3 bedroom house approximately 100 miles. Like with storage firms, websites are bloody useless. They want to give me exact quotes, or send people out to asess my needs. All I want at this stage is a ballpark figure - I want to know if I'm talking about 250 quid or 2000 quid for this sort of thing in order to consider alternatives such as friends, family and van hire.

What they all said. When we moved, we paid for packing though not unpacking; just packing doubled our cost (though we were only moving 1/4 mile) and I would do it again in a heart beat. I think paying professional movers (and we used a local company) is one of the single best things you can do to reduce the stress involved in moving house.

Oh, and congratulations on finding the house of your dreams!
