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.

What moves the price of move

Labour, materials and timing explain most of the gap between two quotes for move. Access and preparation often matter as much as the headline task, so a job that needs extra setup or a second visit costs more even when the base price looks identical.

Getting quotes for move

For move, three quotes is the practical minimum and five is rarely necessary. The goal is to see the market range, not to collect paperwork.

How to compare quotes for move

For move, a fair comparison means identical scope. If one quote includes permits and cleanup and another does not, the cheaper total may not be cheaper at all.

Timing your move

Timing changes what you pay for move. Demand peaks around holidays, seasonal deadlines and the start of the busy season, and prices follow. Booking in a quieter window is one of the few levers that lowers the figure without cutting scope.
