Nightmare Move Made Easy With Konnect You Company

By Konnect You , 25th Jun 2026

Charlotte and her husband love finding old homes that need a little bit of extra love and care. They are able to see the potential in the properties they live in and enjoy working on a good old fixer-upper over time.

As seasoned movers, they have seen their fair share of chaotic moving days. However, they weren’t prepared for their latest house move and the nightmare that was waiting for them only a few streets away.

“So we were essentially moving from 2 streets away from a late Victorian terrace to a 1930s semi. This one has a front garden, driveway, a back garden - it has a large garage and a shed.”

“My husband and I... we're fine with a big challenge. Our last house was a bit of a fixer-upper...We were quite prepared to go with the flow - it was a really good opportunity.”

“We had gotten to know the seller over the period of the transaction. He was a bit of a hoarder and we kind of knew that he'd have difficulty clearing it out.”

“I was just looking to get a good idea of quotes and prices ready for our move. I wasn't too sure on the date that we would be moving and I didn't want to have to call around a bunch of different places and go through the same conversation multiple times just to get a quote.”

“It's one of the big differences [compared to] looking at, something like the Yellow Pages and where you're having to reach out to people,”

“[On Konnect You] you don’t just have to take their word that they’re any good...you can look at what other people have said.”

“When it comes down to it when you move house, you're quite literally putting your whole life in a company's hands - everything you own, everything about your history and your future. It's all in a van. So it's really important that you can trust the people that are doing that job.”

“Well, I saw a blog post on how to pack, which might sound obvious,”

“But actually, it's different packing to move your whole house than it is packing to go on a holiday. So [articles] like that were quite helpful.”

“It sounds so daft thinking like ‘how do you pack?’ But it really is awkward - things like lampshades, where are they meant to go?”

“Someone reached out to me within about half an hour. I was impressed.”

“Two companies reached out in the end, we had a phone call and he asked me for a spreadsheet inventory of everything we needed moving. The second company arranged a follow-up WhatsApp video call so that they could go through and see all the contents in the house for themselves. It was very simple.”

“The first company offered a service to drop boxes off [before the move] in a refundable deposit,”

“Both companies also offered a dismantling and reassembling service...it seemed like if I needed it, I could get it.”

“We definitely went for some of the assembly services, which was very helpful - we have a lot of flat-pack furniture. I just did not want to have to worry about taking it apart and putting it back together.”

“They gave us a quote and were clear and upfront where there might be extra costs and where it’d be incurred. They sent a team of 4 and 2 vans, which was way more than what I was expecting. I really couldn't have been happier because it was just all done in one clean sweep.”

“A lot of [the seller’s] stuff had just been thrown out on the front lawn by his team of volunteers because he hadn't hired a removal company,”

“So, we turned up, bearing in mind that we were only moving from 2 streets away, and the removal vans couldn’t get anywhere!”

“I was thinking, ‘Oh, my God, this is going to end up costing an obscene amount more.’ But it was nice that the removals firm did have enough leeway in their schedule...they were very good. They were very patient with us and the situation we were in.”

“My husband and I were quite stressed and so we were all a bit up in arms...But Easy 2 Move were dead helpful. And we had some really good, good chats throughout the day. We had a bit of a laugh with them, which was really nice.”

“It was a bit chaotic. But everyone did their best to stay organized and focussed and it did work well in the end.”

“It's not been taken the best care of, but it's solid bricks and mortar and that's probably the most important thing. We’ve just had some scaffolding going up today to replace the original roof...it's pretty much sleeves up and off we go with as far as renovations are concerned.”

“I haven't bothered painting or decorating because, basically, the whole place is going to be done when we get it rewired. So, the inside is very groggy and grotty. But it's just really lovely being able to have the outside space, especially at this time of year. And that in itself just makes it feel so much bigger and definitely all worth it.”

“They didn't have a window to look out of in the old house, but now they have a big bay window. I'm not joking...the animals are so much happier in this house and it does make you feel like you've done the right thing. They’re loving the views, loving the garden.”

“I certainly would. I mean, when you think about it, we use so many reviews and comparison sites for other services, it makes sense to use one for something as important as a house move and that you get as much information as possible.”
