What does access in York add to the price?
York's walled centre and footstreets are the job. A quoted door-side load only holds if the street can take a liveried van. Inside the walls the last stretch is often a carry, and a Saturday in the tourist season makes that carry longer. Terraces outside the walls still have tight turns and no rear access. There is no national remover licence. Before a deposit, check Companies House, the goods-in-transit limit, and how waiting time is charged if keys are late. A hop to Leeds is a real morning, not an errand across town.
The van stops outside the walls, and every box walks the last streets the lorry was never going to enter.
