Moved yourself before and don’t fancy doing it again?

So, you have decided to give it a go at moving yourself. After all, what could go wrong and you could save a few pounds at the same time, right?

There are plenty of factors involved with moving yourself. Firstly, you will need to hire a van, this can generally cost around £130 for the day. You will then need to drive or get public transport to the van hire company to be there for a certain time to collect your removals vehicle. Now you will need to recruit a few pals for the day to give you a hand as you won’t be able to move everything on your own. Don’t don’t worry, you will always have an abundance of friends willing to give up their Saturday off to help with a bit of manual labour all day for very little in return, right?

What could go wrong when moving yourself?

You’ve got your van and your friends, let the moving home commence. Everything starts well and this whole moving process doesn’t seem too difficult, that’s until you reach the triple reclining leather sofa that won’t go out the door after 45 minutes of attempting it. This is then to be followed by a further 45 minutes of dismantling the sofa to then eventually get it out the property.

Now it’s time for the unload. Ten minutes in of unloading your property into your newly decorated first floor flat you realise that you are not the young athletic nineteen-year-old you use to be, you are now starting to regret the decision to move. It’s okay, though, because you are nearly done. All you need to do now go back to the other property to get the bits you couldn’t fit it and drop the van back to the hire company. That’s before they shut and get charged another day, spend another twenty-five pounds refuelling it. The you owe your pals with beer and pizza that evening. Don’t forget that the marks on the wall and the sofa need touching up as well. Maybe moving yourself wasn’t the best idea after all.
