What Are the Costs of Moving a 5 Bedroom House?
Five bedroom moves are projects rather than jobs. They need a move manager, a packing team and usually two or three vehicles, all sequenced so nothing waits on a driveway.
Budget guidance
Expect £1,800 to £3,000 locally and £3,000 upwards for long distance. Full packing for a house of this size normally adds £700 to £1,400 depending on the number of fragile items.
How the days are planned
Packing usually runs across two days. Loading takes a full day. Delivery and furniture reassembly take another. Building the plan around your completion date is what prevents overtime charges.
Protecting a period property
Older houses often have narrow staircases and original floors. Floor runners, banister covers and door jamb protection are standard on our larger moves rather than an optional extra.
Handling the overflow
Very few families move everything at once. Containerised storage lets you take the essentials now and release the rest once the new home is decorated.
