Moving from Watford to Brighton

A move to Brighton is mostly the M25, and the M25 decides the day. Leave at the right time and the van is on the coast by late morning. Leave at the wrong time and it is two and a half hours. At the other end, Brighton and Hove have steep streets, controlled parking across most of the centre, and a lot of flats up several flights of stairs.

Typical figures from central Watford. Traffic decides the day, so we plan the departure around it.

The Brighton end

Much of central Brighton and Hove is controlled parking, and on the busiest terraces a space outside on moving day is unlikely. The council can suspend a bay for a removal, which needs applying for in advance, so raise it as soon as you have a date.

Hanover, Kemptown and the streets around the station are steep, and a lot of the housing is Regency and Victorian conversions with narrow turning stairs. Tell us the floor and the street and we plan the crew and the carry before we set off.

What it costs

Long-distance moves from Watford start from £350. The figure for your move depends on its size and the access at both ends, and covers the whole trip door to door. See our prices page for starting figures, or send both addresses for one fixed price.

Watford to Brighton: questions

How long does a move from Watford to Brighton take?+

The drive is an hour and a half to two and a half hours, mostly decided by the M25. With loading and unloading, a flat is a full day and a big house can be a long one.

Do I need a parking suspension in Brighton?+

For a full move on a permit street in the centre, it is often worth it. The council needs notice, so apply as soon as your date is confirmed.
