Removal Costs
in Nottingham
Nottingham has a competitive removal market thanks to strong demand from its two universities and central location on the motorway network.
£310 – £580
Under 50 miles • 2-3 bed average
£580 – £1250
50+ miles • 2-3 bed average
The average house move cost in Nottingham is £310–£580 for a typical 2–3 bed home moving locally, covering loading, transport and unloading by a professional removal company. Long-distance moves from Nottingham run £580–£1250 depending on distance and volume.
Nottingham's two universities keep a deep bench of removal firms and man-and-van operators in business, and that competition holds a local 2–3 bed move to £310–£580. It also means the calendar is the main thing to play: late June and September changeovers book the city out, while November–February is the buyer's market. Access is area-specific — Lace Market and Hockley conversions often have restricted lifts that need booking through building management, and the terraces of The Meadows and Sneinton offer little parking frontage.
The M1 makes Nottingham an efficient starting point in every direction: Leicester (£290–£500) and Sheffield (£330–£570) are short hops, Birmingham runs £400–£700, and London (£630–£1,080 over 128 miles) is a well-priced corridor served by both local and national firms.

Moving and Storage in Nottingham
If there's a gap between moving out and moving in, most removal companies serving Nottingham offer removals with storage: your belongings are loaded once into a sealed container, stored, and delivered when you're ready. Expect the transport leg to cost about the same as a standard local move, plus typically £20–£40 per week per container for the storage itself.
Containerised storage through your remover halves the handling compared with filling a self-storage unit yourself — and if you book both moves with the same firm, ask for a discount on the second leg. Full details in our moving to storage cost guide.
