Student moves are time-pressed, low-budget and high-volume during May and September. Here's how to do them well and not end up paying for a brand-new mattress at the destination.
Share a van
Two students moving the same direction can split a van and pay roughly 60% each — still cheaper than two separate jobs.
Use summer storage
Storing in Northampton over summer and shipping to your next house in September is usually cheaper than transporting twice.
Deposit-deduction killers
- Carpet stains — protect with floor runners
- Wall scuffs from furniture corners
- Holes from picture hooks (fill before leaving)
- Cleaning — pay for an end-of-tenancy clean rather than risk it
