What Size Van Do I Need for a 2-Bed Flat Move?
A 2-bedroom flat move needs a Luton van, which holds around 19m³ of load space and carries up to 1,100kg. That is enough for two full bedrooms, a lounge and a kitchen, loaded by a two-person crew who plan for stairs or lift access.
Recommended vehicle
Typical crew: 2 crew. Prices start from £48 for a small van and one driver, or from £54/hr — get an exact quote for your move in 60 seconds.
Why we recommend this van
Two bedrooms roughly doubles the bedroom furniture of a 1-bed flat — two beds, two wardrobes, and often a home office or guest-room setup — on top of the same lounge and kitchen load. The Luton van's walk-in 19m³, the largest single-trip volume in the fleet, is sized to take all of that without a return run.
The flat-specific factor is access, not volume: on-street parking further from the door, a lift with a weight or size limit, or a narrow stairwell. We plan crew numbers and timing around these details from your booking form, so the van you get is the right size and the day still runs on schedule.
What typically fits
- Two bedrooms of beds, wardrobes and drawers
- A three-seat sofa and armchair
- A dining table with four to six chairs
- A full kitchen, including large appliances
- 60 to 70 medium moving boxes
Lightly furnished second bedroom, or moving into unfurnished accommodation? A long-wheelbase van may be enough — we confirm this from your item list before the day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size van do I need for a 2-bed flat with no lift?
The van size stays the same — a Luton van at around 19m³ — but a no-lift building usually means a larger crew and more time, since every item is carried down stairs. Tell us the floor number and stair count when you quote.
Is a 2-bed flat the same van size as a 2-bed house?
Usually yes, both typically need a Luton van. The difference is access: a house has driveway or street-level access, while a flat often needs a longer carry, a lift, or narrower stairs, which changes the crew plan rather than the van.
Can a 2-bed flat move need two vans?
It can, if the flat is heavily furnished or includes items from a garage or storage unit. We assess this from your inventory before booking, so a second van is quoted upfront, not added on moving day.
