How much does it cost to move a 3-bed house?
The cost of moving a 3-bed house depends on distance, access, how much you are moving, and whether you add packing or storage - not on a single flat rate. The honest way to know your number is a transparent quote set against your actual move, rather than a headline price you cannot rely on.
What actually goes into the price?
A 3-bed move is priced on volume, distance, access at both ends, and the date. Add packing, storage between dates, or dismantling and the figure moves accordingly. A reputable firm sets these against your move rather than quoting a flat rate that ignores them.
Does distance change it much?
Yes. A local move within SW London or Surrey is priced differently to a long-distance UK move, where route and time on the road weigh more. We price UK moves only - EU and international are out of scope.
How does access affect the cost?
Stairs, lifts, narrow streets, controlled parking zones, and long carries all add crew time. A ground-floor terrace with a driveway prices differently to a fourth-floor flat with no lift and a CPZ - which is why a real estimator asks about access.
Does packing yourself cost less?
It can reduce the labour on the day, but fragile items and a tight timeline are where professional packing earns its place. You can mix the two - we pack the kitchen and breakables, you do the books.
What drives the price up or down?
Indicative ranges for typical moves are published on our pricing page - your exact price is always set against your move, not a template.

Common questions
Will you give me a fixed price before the day?
You get a transparent price set by a BAR-certified estimator against the details you provide. If the move materially changes, we tell you before any work proceeds - no surprise fees.
Do I need a survey visit for a 3-bed move?
Not to get your price. We set a transparent price from the detail you give us, then confirm everything with a free live video or in-person survey - same move, same price.
Can you store our things if completion is delayed?
Yes. We collect, store in numbered containers, and redeliver when your new place is ready - priced into the move.
