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.
