Full Transparency on Long-Distance Removals Costs
A 5 bedroom house long distance move is one of the most logistically complex residential jobs a moving company handles.
The average 5 bed property in the UK contains 7 to 10 large furniture pieces per bedroom, a full kitchen including white goods, living room furniture, garden equipment, and 100 to 150 packed boxes.
For a long distance move, this typically requires 2 Luton vans or a single curtain-sided lorry, a one- or two-person crew, and a single-day or two-day move depending on distance.
Giant Van plans 5 bedroom long distance moves with a dedicated move coordinator who confirms vehicle requirements, crew size, parking arrangements at both ends, and road route in advance.
