    1 Bedroom Flat Moving Cost

    Moving out of a 1-bed flat is usually straightforward, but costs can still vary based on stairs, lifts, and distance.

    What to expect for a 1-Bed Move

    Because 1-bedroom flats have less volume, they require smaller vans and fewer movers, keeping costs relatively low. However, access is often the biggest hurdle.

    Van Size

    Usually, a Long Wheelbase (LWB) Transit or a 3.5-ton Luton van is sufficient.

    Number of Movers

    A 2-man crew is standard and can usually clear a 1-bed flat in 2-4 hours.

    Stairs and Lifts

    If you live on the 3rd floor with no lift, expect to pay more for the extra time and physical labour required.

    Packing Boxes

    Expect to need between 15 and 25 boxes, depending on how much you've accumulated.

    1-Bed Cost Estimates
