One of my friends was caught out because she couldn't get her keys until 5 pm on completion day - apparently there is a 'late key' insurance you can take out with bigger companies.
I decided to support a small family run firm and paid £980 to move ten doors away. I tried to get them down on the price, but they said it was because of the 18 steps at my house, and the difficult access.£216 saved 24 October 20140 -
@hpotter Did you try Peglers or Inline Removals? Can highly recommend both.hpotter said:I’m currently looking at removals costs and have had 4 different companies in so far. The quotes are anything from £4.5k to £6.5k and that’s with us doing the packing! We live in a 3 bed end of terrace in West Essex moving to Suffolk. I wish our quote was £3k! We’d also budgeted £2k so wildly underestimated it! The only thing I have insisted upon is that they are members of BAR.2024 wins: *must start comping again!*0 -
We moved here 3 years ago, paid about £300 for the removal men to do the packing on the morning of the move and the whole cost was well under £1000. It seems that prices have gone up considerably since then!
It's not difficult!

Go on AnyVan website and give them a ring then quote what items you want moving.
I just calculated on their website that a move going from Manchester to London would cost £1.3k with the items you've listed. They're professionals as well. I've used them 5x without problems.
