Tips for 2 bed moves in Edinburgh
- 1Old Town and New Town tenements may require carrying items up several flights of narrow stairs - factor in extra labour.

- 3Many properties in Stockbridge, Morningside and Bruntsfield have basement or lower-ground access - check for step counts.
- 5Get at least 3 quotes - prices for 2-bed moves vary significantly between companies.
- 6Ask about insurance cover. A 2-bed move involves more valuable items than a studio.
