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 don't know ballparks for the UK.

However the best deal I made when I moved here was to hire three HMONG who worked for a friend in the wholesaling business. They moved 125 boxes of books out and then up three flights of stairs for $5/hour. (I supplied truck.) The offered to do it again!

So maybe if you know soneone who has immigrants in the area that would help.

Anyway, congrats on house.
