Why hidden costs appear in Truro
On a smaller move, hidden cost usually means hidden time. In Truro, central hills, narrow one-way streets, permit bays and flats above shops, so a job can run over because the loading route is slower than expected rather than because the distance is long.
That includes repeated stair trips, extra walking from the van, access delays and furniture that needs slower handling through tighter spaces.

The avoidable issues worth flagging early
The best way to avoid overruns is to mention stairs, carries, awkward access, late key handovers and anything bulky before the job is priced. That lets the move be planned around the real workload instead of assumptions.
For compact moves, one small friction point repeated twenty times is usually what shifts the final total.
