Check communal rooms as well as your bedroom
Identify your kitchen equipment, furniture, books and stored boxes. Agree with housemates which shared items are moving before collection day. Label your boxes with a name and destination room. Keep another resident’s similar-looking items separate so the collection does not depend on guessing which is yours.
Plan shared-house moves at your Bishop's Cleeve address
For housing away from the village centre, give the street and house number as well as the postcode. Explain whether the vehicle can use the drive or must load from an agreed street position; the number of bedrooms does not establish how close the crew can get.
Match the inventory to the actual carrying and preparation work. Tell us which items need help, whether you want packing or dismantling, and who will provide access at each property.
- For shared-house moves, prepare: named personal inventory; agreed shared-item ownership; access contact for each home.
- Distinguish a residential front door, a shop’s goods entrance and a community venue’s unloading point. Give the actual receiving contact, not just a landmark in the village centre.
Coordinate the people who control access
Confirm who will open each property and where the load can be gathered without blocking corridors. Explain whether housemates are moving at the same time, because shared loading space may be limited. If several residents want transport, list each person’s load and destination before the quote is assessed.
A clear shared-house request includes
- Only the furniture and boxes authorised to leave.
- Floor levels, stair turns and common entrances.
- Any distinct collection or delivery stops for different residents.
