Man with a Van Eastbourne — the far end of the A27, priced straight.
Twenty-something miles east sits a town of 101,000 doing three things at once: Victorian hotels holding the seafront line, Meads dozing under Beachy Head, and Sovereign Harbour building the modern marina version of retirement-by-the-sea. It's a real drive from Brighton — so we quote it like one, honestly.

Honest geography: Eastbourne is roughly 22–24 driving miles from base — 35 to 40 minutes — and the quote counts it as real time, visibly.

Sourced local facts, not brochure filler:
A preserved seafront
The Victorian hotel line survives because the old Devonshire estate kept shops off the front — which means period buildings, period access, and moves that reward careful hands over speed.
Meads, famously unhurried
The ONS once measured Meads as the first UK area with an average age over seventy. Plenty of our work here is downsizing done gently — the hourly model suits a day that shouldn't be rushed.
Harbour-modern
Sovereign Harbour's thousands of marina homes are the other Eastbourne: lifts, secure entries, allocated parking. Different rules, same planning — tell us the block and we'll arrange the slot.

Eastbourne move FAQ
From seafront balconies to harbour fobs.
Is Eastbourne too far for a Brighton van?
Not remotely — it's a 35–40 minute A27 run we make regularly. We're straight that it's a real drive rather than a hop, and the written quote counts that time visibly instead of hiding it in a surcharge.
What are the rates out here?
Identical to Brighton's: £22/£33/£44 an hour on the medium van, £28/£39/£55 on the large. Distance shows up as honest hours, never as its own fee.
Can you move me into Sovereign Harbour?
Yes — marina blocks come with lifts to book, fobs to borrow and parking rules to respect, all of which we arrange before the day. Give us the block name and the concierge details.
Do you handle retirement downsizing?
A lot of it, and gladly — Meads and the seafront send us plenty. We work at the pace the day needs; the hourly table means an unhurried move still only costs its true hours.
Which areas do you cover?
The lot: Old Town's lanes, Meads under the Head, the Victorian front, Sovereign Harbour, Hampden Park, Langney and Ratton — plus Polegate, Pevensey and Seaford nearby by arrangement.
