Because every move is unique, it can be hard to find accurate and reliable information on the costs of moving, especially when it comes to 10m³.
Luckily, with a few examples and analyses, you can get a fairly close estimate of what to expect.
That’s why, in this article, we’ve put together a comprehensive analysis of moving prices (both online and via Yoojo), including detailed tables and examples from real customer experiences.
Let’s dive in:
As you know, the price of a move can vary significantly depending on the options you choose and the distance to cover.
But for those in a rush, we crunched the numbers based on:
All the stats found online.
The quotes we requested from established traditional moving companies.
Our own stats from over 500 moving services of 10m³ completed through our platform.
Here are the results:
Average price in the UK:
Average price on Yoojo:
The average cost isn’t that useful on its own because the distance of the move is what really affects the price.
We’ll break that down for you just below!
Because Yoojo is a platform where movers set their own prices!
Because you can hire help for just an hour… and only pay for an hour!
With hundreds of movers across the UK, you can easily compare and find the best rate.
And because 80% of moves are short-distance (under 60 miles).
This is the most interesting part of this guide!
The most important statistic when estimating your move is the distance travelled.
Since you already know the volume of your move, distance will give you a clear idea of the average cost.
Distance | Average cost of a standard move | Average cost on Yoojo |
---|---|---|
Local move (under 12 miles) | £400 | £70 |
Move around 30 miles | £420 | £95 |
Move around 60 miles | £550 | £230 |
Move around 125 miles | £680 | £345 |
Move around 310 miles | £1,000 | £550 |
There are three traditional moving options: economy, standard, and premium.
To ensure consistency in our comparison, we focused on economy moves… because that’s the majority of services requested on our platform.
