Identify who controls each handover
Confirm the contact who releases the new keys and whether access is conditional on another event. Ask how updates will be communicated on the day. Keep keys, documents and contact information with you rather than in packed boxes. Do not describe an estimated handover as a guaranteed arrival time.
Plan key handover planning at your Blockley address
Agree a window that allows for the Blockley handover and approach. If the receiving contact must open a gate or meet the vehicle at a suitable point, build that arrangement into the request before a deadline is accepted.
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 key handover planning, prepare: departure deadline; expected key-release time; contact for access updates.
- The street address does not describe the carrying route on a sloping site. Include the rise or fall from the agreed loading position to the doorway and any steps or tight turns.
Discuss a gap before it becomes waiting time
If the old property must be empty before the new one opens, explain that gap. Ask how waiting, timing changes or separately arranged storage would be handled and priced. No unlimited waiting or overnight storage is implied. Agree the practical options and responsibilities before the booking is treated as settled.
Record the moving-day sequence
- When collection access begins and when the old home must be vacated.
- Where keys are obtained and who can give an update.
- The earliest confirmed access to the receiving property.
Your Blockley enquiry checklist

- For key handover planning, include departure deadline; expected key-release time; contact for access updates.
