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.

I would budget about 500 quid though there are means to do it a lot more expensive.

Personally I rented a self storage place and packed most of my stuff myself and shipped it to the storage place before moving. (And then taking it out again when I was moved in). That made things much longer, more expensive, but it meant I had more control over the packing.

Goodluck!
