Homes and Flats We Move in Old Swan
Understanding the property mix helps us plan the right crew size, van, and equipment for your move.
How Giant Van Serves Old Swan
Old Swan sits in the L13 postcode, a dense residential district wedged between Knotty Ash to the east and Edge Hill to the west.
It is one of Liverpool's busiest inner suburbs, with a tight mix of Victorian terraces, 1930s semis, and purpose-built flats along the Prescot Road corridor.
Giant Van sends a dedicated team to Old Swan for every house removal.
That means a driver plus at least one loader, a padded transit van or Luton box vehicle, and all the strapping equipment needed to keep your furniture safe on the road.
Our house removals in Old Swan start from £250 for a one-bedroom property and reach up to £850 for a five-bedroom family home.
There are no hidden call-out fees and no fuel surcharges within the Liverpool city area.
We have moved residents from Swanside Avenue, Daneville Road, and Lower Breck Road, and we know exactly what to expect at each type of property in this area.
Narrow hallways, small front gardens with no drive, and permit parking zones on residential streets are all common.
We plan around every one of those factors before the van arrives.
Book online via the Giant Van app, get an instant quote, and track your driver in real time on moving day.
Same-day removals from Old Swan are available seven days a week, subject to availability.

Tight Spaces in Old Swan: Our Approach
Old Swan presents specific access challenges that not every removal company accounts for.
Prescot Road (A57) is the main arterial route through the area and carries heavy traffic during school runs and the evening peak between 4pm and 6pm. We schedule loading times to avoid those windows wherever possible.
Side streets off Prescot Road, including Sandiway Road, Carr Lane East, and Leyfield Road, are mostly residential permit parking zones (Liverpool City Council Zone J).
Giant Van handles the temporary suspension application for on-street parking through Liverpool City Council's website.
We submit the request at least five working days before your move date, which ensures a legal loading bay directly outside your property.
Properties on Swanside Park and the terraced rows along Thomas Drive often have no front drive at all.
Kerb access is tight and garden walls run right to the pavement. Our teams use ramp boards and short carry-runs to protect both your goods and your property's brickwork.
The junction of Prescot Road and Eaton Road can back up significantly during match days at Anfield, which is approximately 1.8 miles north-west.
If your move falls on a Saturday or Sunday home fixture, we will reroute via East Prescot Road and Mill Lane to avoid the congestion.
For flats above ground floor on the Old Swan retail parade or the newer Laurel Road developments, we carry a domestic stair plate and moving straps as standard.
There is no lift access in most of those buildings. Our crews are trained to handle four-storey carries safely and without damage to stairwells.

Work Out Your Moving CostReduce Stress on Your Old Swan Move Day
These five steps are based directly on jobs we have completed in L13.
Liverpool City Council's online portal (liverpool.gov.uk) accepts applications for temporary road space. A suspension costs around £55 per day but prevents fines, delays, and the risk of your removal van blocking a bus route on Prescot Road.
Victorian terraces in Old Swan typically have steep staircases. Boxes packed per floor mean your crew does not carry items down from the loft and back up again at the destination. Label each box with the destination room as well as the origin floor.
It is a small step many people leave too late. A wet fridge during transport risks damage to boxes stacked below it in the van and invalidates the transit insurance claim for those items.
Both schools generate significant morning and afternoon traffic on surrounding residential streets between 8:15am and 9:00am, and again from 3:00pm to 3:30pm.
Our packers bring professional wrapping paper, double-walled boxes, and bubble wrap. Packing the night before moving day saves two to three hours on the day itself and reduces breakage risk substantially.
