It depends entirely on how much stuff you want to move and how far, and how much storage for how long.

I moved from the UK to north-west France 4 years ago and used a company which did the job ok but has recently gone bust big time involving a lot of people's effects and money paid up front going missing.

If I was to do it again within the UK I would hire a vehicle and use yellow big box storage or whatever it's called. Insure all your stuff yourself, you then know it is actually insured and you are not relying on someone else doing it.

Thanks. I'll check those guys out. Also, I've been reccomended with Bestmove since I'm not going anywhere else but London. See, the problem is, as always, I want to be swift with it. As you say, it won't happen anywhere near cheap. Going for self insurance just isn't what I had in mind. I'm still at it, still looking. Not so much as rushing or chasing a deadline, more like making sure, once I start, to get it doe safely with optional time compression. Anyways, I'll check those two you have proposed to be. Tell me if the one I pointed out above is any good or not, would appreciate not having controvercy in opinions flying around my head.
