Give useful information that is already settled
List the furniture, approximate boxes and both postcodes. Add floors, lifts and any preparation you need. Explain whether timing depends on property completion, a tenancy, building access or a seller. If you have several possible dates, say which are realistic rather than entering an arbitrary fixed date.
Plan provisional moving dates 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 provisional moving dates, prepare: likely moving period; reason the date is provisional; known load and access details.
- 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.
Reconfirm when the date becomes definite
A provisional discussion is not a held slot. Once you know the date, ask for availability and the current scope and price to be confirmed. Changes to the load, addresses or access can affect the plan as well as the date. Review the booking terms before making other time-dependent promises.
What to update later
- The confirmed day and access windows at both properties.
- Any changed furniture, box count or extra collection.
- Packing, dismantling and carrying work to be included.
