What Size Van Do I Need for a 2-Bed House Move?
A 2-bedroom house move typically needs a Luton van, which holds around 19m³ of load space and carries up to 1,100kg. That covers two bedrooms, a lounge and kitchen, plus garden or garage items, with a two-person crew.
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
A 2-bed house carries the same core rooms as a 2-bed flat, but with extras a flat rarely has: a garden shed, a garage, or a loft that has been used as storage for years. The Luton van's 19m³ is the same starting point, and our crew checks these extra spaces when confirming your quote so nothing is left behind.
Driveway or street-level access usually makes loading a house faster than a flat, which is one reason a 2-bed house crew is often smaller than a 2-bed flat crew for a similar volume of items.
If your inventory turns out heavier than average — a piano, a large shed's worth of tools, several loft boxes — we may add a second van rather than risk an overloaded first trip.
What typically fits
- Two bedrooms of beds, wardrobes and drawers
- A full lounge suite and TV furniture
- A kitchen table, chairs and appliances
- Garden furniture and shed contents
- 60 to 80 medium moving boxes
Full garage, shed and loft on top of the house itself? We may quote a second Luton van or a 7.5-tonne lorry so everything moves in one day.

Frequently Asked Questions
What size van do I need for a 2-bed house with a garage full of items?
Often still one Luton van, but a full garage on top of two bedrooms can push a 2-bed house into needing a second van. Tell us about garage or shed contents when you quote so we size the job correctly upfront.
How long does a 2-bed house move take with a Luton van?
A typical 2-bed house loads and unloads in around 3 to 5 hours with a two-person crew, depending on access, stairs, and how much is already boxed up before the crew arrives.
Do I need to empty the loft before a 2-bed house move?
No, but tell us roughly how much is up there. Loft contents add to the load volume, and knowing about them in advance means we send a van with enough room rather than discovering it on the day.
