Money-Saving Tips for London Moves
- Move on a weekday: Avoid weekends and bank holidays to skip peak surcharges.
- Book in advance: Last-minute bookings can be more expensive, especially at the end of the month.
- Declutter before moving: Fewer items mean less time, a smaller van, and lower costs.
- Disassemble furniture yourself: Save on disassembly fees by doing it before movers arrive.
- Pack your own boxes: Doing your own packing can cut down on hourly labour costs.
- Use recycled packing materials: Ask supermarkets or friends for spare boxes to avoid paying for new ones.
- Check parking rules ahead of time: Avoid fines or delays by arranging any necessary permits with your local council in advance.
- Be ready when the van arrives: Have everything packed and ready to load to minimise hourly charges.
- Choose a local man and van: Hiring someone based nearby may reduce travel or call-out fees.
