What to do before moving a house?
Arrange your movers early, start packing non-essentials, notify services of address change, label boxes, and prepare essentials bag.

Arrange your movers early, start packing non-essentials, notify services of address change, label boxes, and prepare essentials bag.

Declutter your stuff, pack yourself, move off-peak days, compare quotes, and consider man-with-van if smaller move.

Man with van services start around €60 per hour; full house moves cost from €700 up to €1,700+.

Late spring or early autumn offers better weather and lower prices than summer peak or winter cold.

Around €1,700 average for a typical 3-bed house, with higher invoices for long distance or added services.

Company quotes, pack (DIY or paid), movers load, transport, unload at new home, unpack if hired, and optionally reassemble or store.

Pack boxes, label them, clear walkways, keep keys/essentials separate, and reserve parking for the removal van.

Loading and unloading a 3-bed house can take 4–8 hours depending on volume and accessibility.

Start 3–4 weeks ahead with non-essentials, pack essentials last few days.

At least 4 weeks before your move to compare prices and ensure your date is available.
