Count belongings outside the bedroom
Include your kitchen equipment, hallway storage and anything in a shared cupboard. Mark landlord or housemate property as staying. If the new room is furnished, decide which of your larger pieces will actually move. An accurate selected inventory avoids planning transport for items that have no destination.
Plan room moves around your Atherstone access
A move from an Atherstone address near Long Street or Market Square needs the exact loading point and a clear route through any shared entrance. If a market or event overlaps your preferred date, ask the occupier how access will work. Keep the key handover time separate from the time a vehicle can reach the property.
Separate the tenancy or key handover deadline from your preferred arrival time. Label each person’s belongings and identify items that should remain in a shared house.
- Confirm the Long Street or Market Square entrance and any date-specific event access.
- For room moves, prepare: your room inventory; furniture staying behind; shared entrance and floor details.
Coordinate access with both households
Ask when shared entrances and stairs can be used, and make sure someone can provide keys at each end. Explain any lift booking or restricted loading space. Keep boxes labelled with your name and the destination room so they remain separate from other residents’ belongings. Request carrying help explicitly.
Before you send the room-move enquiry
- Count bags and boxes as well as furniture.
- Give the floor level and any narrow turns at both addresses.
- Identify furniture that will need dismantling before it can leave.
Your Atherstone enquiry checklist
- For room moves, have these details ready: your room inventory; furniture staying behind; shared entrance and floor details.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. CV9 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
