A Closer Look at Student Removals
Moving a 5 bedroom student house requires 2 vehicles in most cases, a Luton van for personal rooms and a transit for kitchen and communal furniture.
The 5 tenants should ideally coordinate packing so each room is boxed and labelled before the crew arrives.
Giant Van recommends each student packs their own room separately, clearly labelled with their name and destination address.
This prevents confusion on delivery day.
A full 5 bedroom student house move takes 6 to 9 hours with a one- or two-person crew.

Work Out Your Moving CostStandard Inclusions for Student Removals
A 5 bedroom student house at the end of a tenancy is one of the largest and most complex student removal jobs.
Five students accumulating belongings over 1 to 3 years generates a volume comparable to a civilian 4 to 5 bedroom family property.
Removal company cost for a group move from a 5 bedroom student house to a single new address starts from £400 with Giant Van.
If the 5 students are moving to 5 different addresses, each individual student room is priced as a 1 bedroom job from £48 to £49 each.
The group move option is always more cost-effective when all students are going to the same location.
Giant Van handles the logistics of moving an entire student house in a single booking with a one- or two-person crew and 2 vehicles where needed.

Removal company cost splits for a 5 bedroom student house move are typically arranged between the students directly.
Giant Van invoices the booking contact and has no involvement in how costs are divided among the group.
The simplest approach: one student makes the booking and the group splits the invoice equally.
For a 5 bedroom student group move at £400 to £600, the per-person cost is £80 to £120, which is comparable to or cheaper than each student booking a separate smaller van.

A Better Standard of Student Removals
- 01
Reducing removal company cost for a 5 bedroom student house starts with a pre-move declutter.
- 02
Furniture bought from Gumtree or IKEA at the start of university is worth less to transport than to replace.
- 03
Each student should identify items with genuine personal value versus items that accumulated by default.
- 04
Clearing 2 to 3 items per bedroom reduces van space and therefore removal cost.
- 05
A pre-move house clearance via a charity collection or student marketplace run 2 weeks before the move is the most efficient approach.
