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.

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

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

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

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

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

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

It’s not obligatory but a tip or lunch is appreciated for good service, especially for heavy or difficult moves.

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

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