Planning range, not a bid. Research fallback compiled in September 2026 from published industry tables and public quote examples. Haulest does not yet have a large enough first-party sample to publish a median. A phone survey still wins.
On the ground
Manchester terraces punish oversized vans. Many streets in the south and the Northern Quarter have no rear access, so everything walks through the front. Student mid-September and month-end Fridays book out the cheap crews first. A 2-bed Victorian with a cellar adds volume people forget until the van is full. Goods-in-transit still often excludes owner-packed china. There is no national remover licence. Check Companies House for a live company, ask for the insurance limit, and treat a cash-only booking with no address as a warning. Moves down to London add hours and a possible overnight if the slot slips. If you need a week between keys, a container or storage can beat paying two crews.
A terrace with no rear access and a sofa that will not turn on the stair is a two-person carry down the front, not a cheap man-and-van advert.
