Having moved house more times than most would think sensible, I have become somewhat of a connoisseur in the different types of moving services and what to consider when going through the horror of a relocation.
I have tried numerous disastrous DIY attempts involving van hire which always end in tears – usually mine. What I’ve learned is that while it might potentially save a couple of hundred quid on the surface, hiring and driving a van is really stressful. Also, unless you are a professional, packing a van is a skill and unskilled people like me are highly likely to end up breaking things or unable to fit everything inside.
