Studio / small flat Moving Size — Light / decluttered Contents

Worked moving-volume estimate for a studio / small flat with light / decluttered contents: 4.3 m³ midpoint, van, storage and box planning.

Quick planning midpoint4.3 m³
Planning range3.8–4.9 m³
Midpoint4.3 m³
Van planningMedium van
Storage start~35 sq ft

How the quick model works

The current MoveSize quick-removals model starts with a 5.5 m³ baseline for a studio / small flat. The light / decluttered contents level applies a 0.78 multiplier, giving a midpoint of 4.3 m³. The planning range is 88%–114% of the midpoint.

Van and storage planning

MoveSize keeps a 10% van loading margin rather than assuming every published cubic metre is usable. The storage starting point assumes roughly 75% practical use of an 8 ft-high unit before rounding to a common unit size.

What can move the result

Lofts, garages, home offices, collections, garden equipment, dismantling, dense books and unusually bulky furniture can all change the result. Use the full inventory before booking.

Property size is only a shortcut. MoveSize does not guarantee that a named van or storage unit will fit the actual load; payload, access, item geometry and supplier dimensions must be checked.
