Editorial Policy

1) Editorial Purpose

MovingCost.co.uk exists to help UK households understand realistic moving costs before requesting quotes. Our content aims to reduce pricing confusion, hidden-fee risk, and low-quality quote comparisons.

2) Author & Review Process

Core pricing and methodology content is authored or reviewed by Alexander Bruce, who has 14+ years of removals-industry experience.

• • Drafting: topic scope, user intent, and pricing model outline
• • Verification: source checks against recognised public and industry references
• • Review: clarity, consistency, and practical usefulness for real move planning
• • Publication: page is stamped with update date and monitored for relevance

3) Data Sources

We prioritise primary and high-trust sources, including:

• • UK government guidance (e.g., HMRC for SDLT)
• • Industry organisations (e.g., BAR, NFTO)
• • Internal pricing benchmarks and quarterly index updates
• • Publicly available market references for validation context

4) Update Cadence

• • Core cost pages: reviewed at least quarterly
• • Time-sensitive fee pages (e.g., stamp duty): reviewed when policy changes are announced
• • Guides: refreshed as needed when market conditions change
• • UK Moving Cost Index: published quarterly as a downloadable dataset

5) Corrections Policy

If we identify a factual error, we correct it as quickly as possible and update the page timestamp. Significant corrections are prioritised on high-traffic pages first.

To report a correction, contact us via our contact page.

6) Commercial Independence

We may earn affiliate commission from partner links, but this does not change the methodology used in cost estimates. Affiliate relationships are disclosed in our Affiliate Disclosure.
