Moving...

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.

It might be worth getting a few standard boxes and packing stuff into them, to give you an idea of how many boxes will be involved -- at which point a ballpark quote might well be forthcoming.

Weirdly, when I moved back from Birmingham to Solihull, I was reunited with the stuff I left behind when I moved from Solihull to Birmingham. Pretty much the only benefit of buying your childhood home.
