Tips for 5+ 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.
- 5Book as early as possible — 8-12 weeks for large house moves.
- 6Expect a home survey. No reputable company will give a fixed quote for a 5+ bed without one.
FAQ
How much does a 5-bed move cost in the UK?+
A 5-bedroom move typically costs £1,200-£2,000 locally and £1,800-£3,200 for long-distance. Very large properties with specialist items can exceed £5,000.
How long does a 5-bed move take?+
Most 5+ bedroom moves take 1-2 full days. Many families opt for packing on day one and moving on day two, which is less stressful and reduces the risk of damage.
Should I use specialist movers for a large house?+
Yes. Companies that specialise in large residential moves will have the right equipment, insurance, and experience. Avoid man-and-van services for properties of this size.
