Book the ideal provider for your home services.

I take advantage

Figuring out the cost of a move can be pretty tough because every home is different...

...and most websites will just give you an average price that lumps everything together!

Not exactly helpful, right?

So, I decided to gather data from 80 moves completed thanks to Yoojo (of about 350 miles) and break down the numbers.

Here's what you'll find in this guide:

Okay, this might not be the most precise statistic, but it’ll give you a good idea if you need a quick estimate.

I've also looked at average prices from online sources to compare.

Here’s what I found:

Average cost across the UK:

£1,419

Average cost on Yoojo:

£664

What type of moves did I compare?

To keep things consistent, I only focused on the cost of budget-friendly moves.

Why?

Simply because that’s the most popular option on our platform.

Costs based on the volume you’re moving

Let’s get serious with a table showing prices based on the size of your moving truck.

This applies between 300 and 390 miles:

Volume	Average cost for a standard move	Average cost on Yoojo
Moves of 107sqft or less	£709.50	£595.98
Moves of around 215sqft	£915.21	£721.11
Moves of around 322sqft	£1,116.62	£858.19
Moves of around 430sqft	£1,585.58	£1,218.53
Moves of around 538sqft	£2,061.25	£1,705.98
Moves of around 645sqft	£2,720.87	£2,217.00
Moves of around 753sqft	£3,510.63	£2,663.11
Moves of around 861sqft	£4,491.89	£2,956.23

💰 Why is it cheaper on Yoojo?

On Yoojo, movers set their own rates, so you can find deals that fit your budget.

Need help for just an hour? No problem—you’ll only pay for that time.

With hundreds of movers across the UK, you’re sure to find someone at a good price.

A lot of moves are done between private individuals, which helps keep costs down.

Is there changes based on the time of year?

After looking at volume, I wanted to see if prices on our moving services platform vary depending on the time of year... just like it often does in the moving industry:

Month	Average price variation	Average price on Yoojo
January	-6%	£628.81
February	-4%	£642.19
March	-4%	£642.19
April	-4%	£642.19
May	-1%	£662.26
June	+5%	£702.40
July	+8%	£722.47
August	+9%	£729.16
September	+5%	£702.40
October	+1%	£675.64
November	-4%	£642.19
December	-6%	£628.81

As you can see, there’s a small increase of 8-9% during the summer months.

That’s normal for this type of service because there’s more demand.

Prices paid by clients using Yoojo

You should already have a pretty good idea of what your 350mi move might cost.

To wrap things up, I’m sharing some examples of listings from Yoojo clients, including details like:

The service requested
The total price paid
The size of the move

Example #1: A small 350mi move

💶 Total paid: £468
🚛 Distance: 362mi
📏 Volume: 21sqft

An example of a move listed on Yoojo for almost 370 miles

This first example is a simple 2m3 move, almost exactly 350 miles (off by just 12 mi).

Nothing special to mention here—it’s a classic small move.

The client paid£468 for the loading and transport... not bad!

Example #2: A small move from London

💶 Total paid: £801
🚛 Distance: 310mi
📏 Volume: 43sqft

A listing for a move from London to the countryside

Here’s another small move, but this time starting in the outskirt of London.

Where you live definitely affects the final price.

As you can see here, movers in London tend to be more expensive than those in smaller cities, and that makes sense—living costs are higher!

Example #3:

💶 Total paid: £523
🚛 Distance: 367mi
📏 Volume: 204sqft

An ad posted on Yoojo by a client, to request a quote for a big move

One great thing about Yoojo is that you can choose everything: the date, the time, the mover... and post your listing for free to find the right person.

That’s exactly what this client did to get a good estimate for their move.

It doesn’t cost anything to post an ad, and on Yoojo, you only pay online once you’ve found and booked the right mover.

Example #4: A large 450 mi move

💶 Total paid: £1,245
🚛 Distance: 450mi
📏 Volume: 538sqft

A listing for a 450mi move posted on Yoojo

Now we’re stepping things up with a massive 538sqft move over 450 mi!

For this kind of job, our client needed help from three movers with two 269sqft vans... no less would do!

In the end, they only paid £1,245 for this big move, and when you think about it, that’s not bad at all!

Example #5: A very large move across the country

💶 Total paid: £1679
🚛 Distance: 435mi
📏 Volume: 645sqft

A large move across the UK listed on Yoojo

And finally, here’s the largest move I found for 435 mi.

This one involved a whopping 645sqft —an enormous task!

Luckily for this client, they could tailor their service and find multiple movers to handle specific tasks: van rental with a driver, loading the van, unloading at the destination... It’s entirely up to you!
