Long-Distance Moves in the UK: What to Expect and Preparation

Relocating from Glasgow to Bristol or Newcastle to London? Long-distance moves require a different level of planning:

1. Get a Detailed Quote: Ask your removal company for a fixed price, not just an estimate.
2. Understand Delivery Windows: Some companies consolidate loads, meaning your delivery might take a few days.
3. Pack for the Journey: Wrap everything tightly to survive longer travel—double-box fragile items.
4. Update Your Address: This includes the DVLA, HMRC, your employer, and your bank.
5. Overnight Bag: If there’s a delay, you’ll be glad you packed clothes, toiletries, and important documents.
6. Consider Storage: Some movers offer storage solutions if there’s a gap between moving out and in.

A bit of extra preparation ensures your long-distance move goes smoothly from start to finish.
