Homes and Flats We Move in Mountsorrel
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
Every Move Type in Mountsorrel
Mountsorrel sits on the eastern bank of the River Soar in the Charnwood district, roughly eight miles north of Leicester city centre. The village carries a LE12 postcode and mixes older stone terraces near the High Street with newer estates around Sileby Road and Swithland Road.
Giant Van runs house removals throughout the whole area, from the riverside properties along Bond Lane to the larger detached homes on Rothley Road.
This is a working village with real character. The High Street narrows considerably near the post office, and delivery lorries have to time their runs carefully. Our removal crews understand this.
We send a crew that has already mapped the route, knows where the double yellow lines start on Halstead Road, and can reverse a long-wheelbase van into a courtyard when needed.
House removals in Mountsorrel start from £250 for a two-bedroom property. A three-bedroom move typically runs between £450 and £650, depending on floor access, distance to the new property, and we handle packing. We give you a fixed price before we start, so there are no surprises on moving day.
Every job includes furniture disassembly and reassembly, blanket wrapping for fragile items, and a crew of two trained movers. Larger properties or long-distance destinations are priced individually, but we always confirm costs in writing first.
Access Solutions for Mountsorrel Homes
Mountsorrel presents specific access challenges that a removal company unfamiliar with the area can easily misjudge.
The A6 runs through the village as Leicester Road and Loughborough Road, and it carries heavy traffic during peak hours.
Rush hour on a weekday can add 20 to 30 minutes to a loading run if you try to stop on the main road without a permit.
We book our Mountsorrel moves to start at 7:30 am or to avoid the school-run window between 8:15 am and 9:00 am, when Mountsorrel Church of England Primary School on Halstead Road creates a tailback.
Properties on Bridge Street and Watling Street face restricted parking near the granite memorial and the village square.
These streets are pedestrianised for parts of the day, so our team confirms parking suspensions with Charnwood Borough Council for any move near the centre.
The riverside properties on Bond Lane and near the Soar Valley Way are accessible from Sileby Road, but the lane narrows to single-track width beyond the old mill building.
We send a medium-wheelbase van to those addresses rather than a full-size removal lorry.
The newer housing developments off Swithland Road and Rothley Road have wider road widths and adequate turning circles, making morning slots straightforward.
The granite quarry that gave Mountsorrel its identity left behind roads built for industrial traffic, so the estate roads hold up well to our vehicles year-round.

Work Out Your Moving CostSorting Your Home Before a Mountsorrel Move
Here are five steps that our most organised Mountsorrel customers take in the week before their move.
Charnwood Borough Council handles these applications. Give yourself at least five working days. Giant Van can advise on what to request, but the application must come from the householder.
Mountsorrel has a good mix of Victorian terraces near the High Street with narrow front doors, often only 76 cm wide. If a sofa will not pass through, our team disassembles it on site and reassembles it at the destination.
Appliances must be dry before loading. Water in a transit van can damage cardboard boxes and soft furnishings underneath.
This includes phone chargers, medication, children's comfort items, and documents such as your solicitor's paperwork. Load this bag last so it comes off first at the new address.
The Royal Mail redirection service takes three to five working days to activate from a Mountsorrel LE12 address. Start this process at least a week early.
