I moved from Liverpool to Manchester in my early 40s. Yes it was a very long day. I had to ride in the furniture van as I did not drive. The removals people were from a Liverpool company so they drove back at the end of the day. However its only about 35 miles between the two cities.

I’m sure they have ways and means. My son had to move from Southend to wales. The removal men did a fantastic job. They stayed overnight in a B&B and I think they had already planned a removal job from Wales to the Midlands the next day. They have their contacts everywhere.

Daft question, but how does it work with regard to the removal company when you're selling a house in one area and purchasing another several hours away?

Do they do a very long day and drive back that evening or do they stay overnight somewhere?

Anyone experience.of how this works?
