Let’s Be Honest: Moving House Is a Nightmare (But It Doesn’t Have to Be)
Moving house in Dublin? Brace yourself. Between the packing, the heavy lifting, and the existential crisis of why you still own a bread maker from 2012, it’s enough to send anyone into a tailspin.
But here’s the good news: you don’t have to do it alone. Dublin Removals is here to make your move stress-free—muscle where it matters, and manners where it counts. Because let’s face it, a mover who scuffs your hardwood floors and grunts at you isn’t exactly the dream.
Why Is Moving So Stressful? Science Explains the Meltdown
A study by E.ON found that 62% of people rank moving house as more stressful than a divorce. Another report from Which? revealed that nearly 40% of people experience anxiety, frustration, or regret during the process.
Why? Because it’s an emotional rollercoaster—excitement, nostalgia, panic, and exhaustion all packed into one chaotic day.
We get it. You’re not just moving furniture; you’re moving memories, routines, and a decade’s worth of “I might need this someday” junk.
That’s why our team isn’t just strong; they’re trained in the fine art of stress reduction (and lifting sofas without denting walls).
How Much Does It Cost to Move House in Dublin?
Let’s talk numbers. You’re already bleeding cash on deposits, legal fees, and an alarming amount of bubble wrap. How much should you budget for a moving company?
| Property Size | Average Moving Cost in Dublin |
|---|---|
| 1-Bedroom Apartment | €350 – €600 |
| 2-Bedroom House | €600 – €1,000 |
| 3-Bedroom House | €1,000 – €1,600 |
| 4+ Bedroom House | €1,600+ |
These prices vary depending on factors like distance, accessibility (hello, third-floor walk-up!), and whether you want full packing services. But here’s a pro tip: book early to avoid premium last-minute fees.
What Makes a Moving Company Worth the Investment?
You wouldn’t trust just anyone with your grandmother’s antique china. So, what separates a professional moving company from that guy with a van off Facebook Marketplace?
✅ Experience Matters – We’ve moved enough houses to know that “It’ll fit through the door” is often a lie.
✅ Fully Insured – If anything goes wrong (which it won’t), your belongings are covered.
✅ Packing Pros – We know the difference between “carefully packed” and “stuffed into a box with wishful thinking”.
✅ Time-Saving Machines – No more spending 12 hours shifting furniture when a pro team can do it in 3.
When Is the Best Time to Move House in Dublin?
Thinking of moving in July? So is everyone else. Peak moving season in Dublin runs from June to September, which means higher prices and limited availability.
Best time to move? Mid-week and mid-month. The demand drops, and you can score better rates. If flexibility isn’t an option, book at least 4 weeks in advance to lock in your preferred date.
How to Make Your Dublin Move Easier (And Keep Your Sanity Intact)
Moving doesn’t have to feel like a military operation. Here’s how to make it smoother:
1. Declutter Like You Mean It
Moving is the perfect excuse to get rid of those “someday” items gathering dust. If you haven’t used it in the last year, sell it, donate it, or bin it.
2. Label Like a Pro
Nothing is worse than digging through 20 identical boxes trying to find your kettle. Label every box by room and content, and bonus points for numbering them to match an inventory list.
3. Pack a First-Night Survival Kit
Trust us, you won’t want to dig through boxes to find your toothbrush at 11 PM. Pack a bag with essentials—clothes, toiletries, chargers, snacks, and whatever keeps you sane.
4. Hire Movers Who Actually Care
Your mate’s cousin might offer to help for pizza, but that usually ends in broken plates and mysterious dents in the walls. Dublin Removals does this for a living, and we do it well.
