Just hire a transit van for the day?kungfucharlie said:We in process of moving about half a mile round the corner. Moving from 3 bed (but with only one actual bed in it) to a 4 bed.
We have stuff, but nothing crazy. No appliances, no outdoor furniture etc.
The quotes we've got so far are 3k-4k+
Seems mad - are prices shooting up due to demand, or are we picking badly?0 -
I think it is more likely that business is drying up since the SDH, and they are trying to break even on less customers.letsbetfair said:I've heard of rising prices in the South of England (outside London). Movers are so busy at the moment they don't mind losing some business by quoting high.
That does seems really high, even if it is now market rate! Do you need to be moved out on the morning of completion, or could a man with a van and multiple trips be an option?0 -
Member of my family just paid £2.5k to totally wrap and pack up and move a cluttered 4 bed house(over 3 floors) plus garage and garden stuff from Lewisham to Cheshire. 2 vans .
