The cost of moving house in the UK varies enormously depending on where you live, how far you're moving, the size of your home, and the services you need. Here's what you should realistically expect to pay in 2026.
Average Removal Costs by Property Size
| Property Size | Local Move (<20 miles) | Medium Distance (20–80 miles) | Long Distance (80+ miles) |
|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Bedroom Flat | £450–£750 | £650–£1,000 | £900–£1,400 |
| 2 Bedroom House | £700–£950 | £900–£1,300 | £1,200–£1,800 |
| 3 Bedroom House | £950–£1,400 | £1,200–£1,800 | £1,600–£2,400 |
| 4 Bedroom House | £1,400–£2,200 | £1,800–£2,800 | £2,200–£3,500 |
| 5+ Bedroom House | £2,000–£3,500 | £2,500–£4,000 | £3,000–£5,000+ |
What Affects the Price?
Distance, floor level and access, packing services, and time of year are the biggest cost drivers. Friday moves, end-of-month dates, and summer months typically carry a 7–15% premium.
