Why Are Last-Minute Moves More Expensive?

Emergency moves typically cost 20-30% more due to:

• Premium scheduling fees for immediate availability

• Limited van availability requiring multiple trips

• Overtime charges for weekend/evening moves

• Rushed packing services (if needed)

Average Last-Minute Moving Costs in Finchley

• 1-bed flat (48-hour notice): £350-£600

• 2-bed house (72-hour notice): £550-£900

• 3-bed home (1-week notice): £800-£1,400

Tip: Booking a man and van in Finchley directly (rather than through brokers) can save 15-20%.

7 Money-Saving Tips for Emergency Moves

1. Accept partial loads if the company has space in an already-scheduled van

2. Supply your own packing materials (towels/sheets as padding)

3. Be flexible on timing – early morning/late night slots may be cheaper

4. Disassemble furniture yourself to save on labor costs

5. Move midweek when demand is lower

6. Combine with a neighbor's move for shared load discounts

7. Skip full packing services – have movers just handle large items
