Removal Costs
in Solihull
Solihull is a higher-value Birmingham suburb with a strong family market and good access to the M42 and Birmingham Airport.
£310 – £580
Under 50 miles • 2-3 bed average
£580 – £1250
50+ miles • 2-3 bed average
The average house move cost in Solihull 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 Solihull run £580–£1250 depending on distance and volume.
Solihull local moves cost £310–£580, a little above the Birmingham average, and the housing is the reason. This is a higher-value family market — larger detached and semi-detached homes in Knowle, Dorridge and Olton with more furniture, more loft and garage contents, and often a garden room or office to clear as well. Volume, not access, is what pushes a Solihull quote up: driveways and level access are the norm, but a 4-bed here genuinely holds more than a 4-bed elsewhere.
Corridors are short and cheap. Birmingham is £240–£420 over eight miles, Coventry £260–£450, Leicester £330–£570 and London £560–£970 over 113 miles. Birmingham Airport and the M42 on the doorstep mean plenty of operators pass through, so competition is good. If you are downsizing out of a large family home, ask about storage as part of the quote — most local firms offer it and it is cheaper bundled than arranged separately.

Moving Tips for Solihull
- 1
Confirm parking and any access restrictions at both ends of your move in Solihull before the day - older streets and apartment blocks can slow loading.
- 2
Mid-week, mid-month moves in Solihull are typically 10-20% cheaper than Friday or end-of-month slots.
- 3
If you're moving from a flat, check whether the building has a goods lift or restricted move-in hours.
- 4
Always compare quotes from at least three local Solihull firms - prices vary widely between operators.
Moving and Storage in Solihull
If there's a gap between moving out and moving in, most removal companies serving Solihull 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.
