When to start packing before moving house?
Start 3–4 weeks ahead with non-essentials, pack essentials last few days.

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

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.

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

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

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

Usually around €1,200–€1,700 locally for 3-bedroom house contents only, without packing service.

Start with out-of-season clothes, books, decor and rarely used items; pack daily essentials last.

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

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