How to compare quotes for move

When you compare quotes for move, line up the scope, the materials and the timeline rather than just the totals. Ask each provider what would make the price rise after the quote is accepted.

What moves the price of move

The scope you agree drives most of the cost of move. Every extra task, upgraded material or access complication adds labour and risk, and the provider prices that risk into the quote.

Timing your move

For move, same-day and after-hours call-outs sit at the top of the range. A standard appointment booked in advance gives you the best chance of the typical figure.

Who sets move prices

There is no fixed tariff for move. The figure is set by the provider's own economics, covering labour, materials, travel and availability, so it varies by company and by season.
