A small LS24 block or a city flat along the A64

With so few flats in the town itself, the questions are about the building rather than a city lift: where the van can stand among the residents' bays, how far the walk is to the communal door, and how tightly the stairs turn between floors. Say which floor you are on, and measure the narrowest turn on the stairs if a sofa or a wardrobe is coming down, so the carrying time is counted before the day.

City flats are another job altogether. A block in central York or Leeds may have a lift to book, an entry code, a loading bay shared with other residents and a car park barrier the van cannot pass, since it stands about 2.5m tall against the usual 2.1m limit. York is about 10 miles from Tadcaster and Leeds about 15, both within half an hour on the A64, so a one-bedroom flat loaded in the morning is not long on the road.

Floors, lifts and the miles between blocks: a Tadcaster flat move priced

The floor at each end, whether a lift works, the walk from the van to the door and the miles between the two addresses decide one fixed price, agreed before the van leaves Bradford. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
