How Much Are Removal Company Costs In Plymouth?

In Plymouth, the most you can expect to pay for a removal company is £1,110, with the lowest being £717. Be aware that these are average and removal firms will commonly base costs on the size of your home, the number of items being moved, the distance between your old property and your new home.
The price of your home move will also depend on whether or not you use additional services, such as professional packing, cleaning, waste removal or storage. The day of the week you move can also impact the cost of your removal service. Unpopular days such as Sunday could be cheaper, with popular days like Friday and Saturday potentially being more expensive.
What Is The Best Time of Year To Move in Plymouth?
We found that the most popular time of year to move house in Plymouth is during July, according to our data.
This is likely due to the fact that days are lighter and brighter this time of year, plus the fact that July is during the school holidays. This makes it an optimum time for families with children to move, in addition to those working in the education sector.
The least popular months to move house in the area were April and May, each accounting for just 2% of moves. This could be due to people waiting until July - and the school holidays - to move house.
December also proved to be a less popular month, with only 4% of movers opting for this time of year. This is likely down to a combination of colder weather and shorter days, in addition to the busy (and expensive) holiday season.
What Is The Best Day Of The Week To Move In Plymouth?
In line with much of the country, movers in Plymouth opted for Friday as their moving day, according to our data. We found that over 43% of moves took place in the area on the last day of the working week.
In stark contrast, Sunday accounted for 0% of moves in the area. Across the UK, Sunday is typically the least popular day to move but it appears among our Plymouth users, moving on Sunday is not a consideration.
As Sunday is an unpopular day to move house, it could potentially be a cheaper day to arrange a removal company - although this will depend on which firm you hire and the factors that determine their costs.
However, be aware that many solicitors and estate agents are closed on a Sunday, meaning if there is an issue on moving day, you will have to wait until the following morning to contact someone.
