Homes and Flats We Move in Selly Oak
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Moving Solutions for Selly Oak Homes
Selly Oak sits in the south-west of Birmingham, largely within the B29 postcode. It borders Harborne to the north-west, Bournville to the south, and Stirchley to the south-east. The area is well known for its large student population, thanks to the University of Birmingham campus on Edgbaston Park Road.
That means a high turnover of tenancies and a constant demand for reliable house removals in Selly Oak, Birmingham.
If you are leaving a terraced house on Raddlebarn Road, a flat near the Selly Oak Retail Park on Aston Webb Boulevard, or a semi-detached on Somerset Road, Giant Van can handle the move. We cover one-bedroom flats up to five-bedroom family homes.
Prices for house removals in Selly Oak start from £250 and go up to £850 depending on property size, volume of furniture, and how far you are going. Man and van jobs start from £48. Same-day moves start from £80.
Every Giant Van booking includes a fully insured crew, protective blankets for your furniture, and real-time GPS tracking so you always know where your belongings are. There are no hidden fees and no vague quotes. You get a fixed price before we start. That is the Giant Van guarantee for every house removal we carry out across Birmingham and beyond.
Tight Spaces in Selly Oak: Our Approach
Bristol Road (A38) is the main artery through Selly Oak and carries heavy bus and cycle traffic.
It runs north into Birmingham city centre and south towards Longbridge. Moving a large removal lorry on Bristol Road during morning or evening peak hours adds significant time to your job.
We recommend booking your Selly Oak removal to start before 8am or after 6pm if your property sits directly on or close to Bristol Road.
Oak Tree Lane and Bournbrook Road have narrow junctions and parked cars on both sides in many sections.
Our drivers know these routes and plan approach angles in advance. If you live on Harborne Lane near the junction with Alton Road, note that this section often has delivery vehicles double-parked during the day. Early starts help here too.
Parking a removal van outside properties in the B29 area sometimes requires a temporary parking suspension.
Birmingham City Council allows residents and their removal companies to apply for a suspension on residential streets. We can advise you on the process and the lead time, which is typically five working days.
On busier roads such as Dawlish Road or Alvechurch Road (where Selly Oak meets Stirchley), a suspension is almost always worth arranging.
Our team can load and unload faster when the van sits directly outside your door, which saves time and reduces the risk of damage on a long carry.

Work Out Your Moving CostSelly Oak: What to Sort Before We Arrive
September and January see very high demand in B29, B15, and B17 postcodes. Availability drops fast and prices can rise.
Streets off Oak Tree Lane and Raddlebarn Road can be tight. A suspension costs around £50 to £90 through Birmingham City Council and is worth every penny on a busy moving day.
Box up glassware, crockery, and breakables into clearly labelled boxes. Place these in one room so the team can load them last and unload them first. We supply packing materials and full packing services from £150 if you need help.
Council Tax accounts, bins, and resident parking permits all need updating. The council website makes this straightforward and it takes about ten minutes.
Ongoing development along Pritchatts Road and Vincent Drive periodically restricts access from the east side of Selly Oak. Check current road closures through the Birmingham City Council transport pages before your moving day and share any alerts with your Giant Van driver the night before.
