A whole house move might need a Luton van, the most popular for transporting a three or four-bedroom home.

A Long-Wheel-Base (LWB) Transit van or Sprinter van will be big enough to carry a few pieces of furniture, appliances, electronics, or boxes.

A smaller van suits fragile items that move around less, avoiding damage.

The best way to determine what size you need is to ask the man and a van in Sunderland for advice. They can estimate the size of the van you'll need.

Take your time when talking to a potential man and a van. Ask what services they offer, what they charge, and more.

Try asking these questions to help you find the right service:

• How long have you been doing this job?
• What kind of insurance do you provide?
• How do you charge, by the hour or job?
• Can you move speciality items, like pianos or fragile goods?
• Do you have insurance?

A man and a van must have the right insurance to cover them should anything go wrong. Always check they have adequate insurance coverage to protect your belongings during transit.

It's also a good idea to check your home insurance policy to see if it covers your belongings during the move. Some policies may offer additional coverage for items in transit.
