Birmingham Moving Guide 2026 — B1 to B98 Cost & Timing Breakdown
Full Birmingham moving guide for 2026. Real costs by B-postcode, Clean Air Zone tips, best moving days — from HomeGo's Sparkbrook B11 branch.
Birmingham is the UK's second city and our second-largest branch. From our Walford Road depot in Sparkbrook (B11 1NP) we cover every B-postcode from B1 to B98 plus the surrounding boroughs. Here's everything you need to know for a 2026 Birmingham move.
The Birmingham Clean Air Zone (CAZ)
Central Birmingham (A4540 ring road) is a Class D CAZ. Non-compliant vehicles pay £8/day (cars) or £50/day (HGVs). Our fleet is 100% Euro 6 compliant — zero CAZ charge ever passes to you. This is a silent trap with some out-of-town movers who quietly surcharge.
Birmingham 2026 cost ranges by postcode group
- B1–B5 city centre flats: £340–£620
- B11–B16 Sparkbrook / Edgbaston terraces: £520–£820
- B17–B29 Harborne / Selly Oak semis: £620–£940
- B72–B76 Sutton Coldfield detached: £890–£1,480
- B91–B93 Solihull family homes: £780–£1,280
Best days to move in Birmingham
Tuesday–Thursday outside the city centre. Avoid Villa/Blues home-match weekends (Saturday traffic around B6 Aston and B9 Bordesley is grim). Avoid the third Saturday of March (St Patrick's parade closes Digbeth).
