Area guide

Moving to or from Essex: what to know

Essex is one of the largest counties in the east of England, stretching from the edge of London to the coast and up towards Suffolk and Cambridgeshire. It includes busy towns and cities such as Chelmsford, Southend, Basildon, Colchester and Brentwood, as well as many villages and rural areas.

People move to Essex for space, schools, the countryside and the coast, while staying within reach of London. Rail lines such as c2c, the Elizabeth line and Greater Anglia make commuting practical, and the A12, A13, A127 and M25 connect the county.

For your Essex move, tell us about your dates, addresses, items and any access or parking restrictions. We offer free surveys and fixed quotes, with packing and dismantling services available.

Whatever kind of property you're leaving or moving to, from a seafront flat to a village cottage, every Essex move starts with a free survey and a fixed quote.

Know before you move

Moving challenges in Essex

Every area has its own quirks. These are considerations to discuss when planning your Essex move.

Property types

The variety of homes means no two moves are the same. A free survey makes sure the plan fits your property.

Weather

Coastal and rural areas can be exposed to wind and rain. Discuss packing and wet-weather handling requirements at the survey.

Roads and parking

The A12, A13, A127 and M25 can be busy. We plan timings to reduce delays.

Building age

Older homes and cottages often need furniture dismantled to get through doors and stairs.

Common mistakes on Essex moves

  • × Booking without a survey, then finding the van is too small
  • × Not checking parking or permits at both addresses
  • × Leaving packing until the night before
  • × Moving furniture you plan to throw away
