Preparing For A House Move
The more prepared you are, the smoother moving day will be. Here are a few steps to tick off:
- Measure large furniture and make sure it fits through stairwells, doors, and lifts.
- Clear driveways, paths, and entryways at both addresses.
- Disassemble bulky items like beds or wardrobes if possible, or let us know so we can plan.
- Arrange parking space for the moving truck.
- Pack and label boxes clearly, separating fragile or special items.
How Much Does It Cost To Move Houses?
We pride ourselves on fair, transparent pricing. The main factors include:
- The size of your home and number of belongings.
- Distance travelled between addresses.
- Access challenges such as stairs, narrow hallways, or steep driveways.
- Whether you need packing, wrapping, or unpacking services.
- Any special items requiring extra care (pianos, spa pools, antiques).
- Timing — weekends, holidays, or urgent bookings may be in higher demand.
