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.
- 2Parking in the city centre is extremely limited. A council parking bay suspension costs around £35 and should be booked 5 days ahead.
- 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.
