Match the load to the accommodation
Check the supplied bed, desk and storage before adding large furniture to the list. Count clothes, books, kitchen equipment and bedding, and identify anything particularly heavy. Do not assume there is space for an extra sofa or wardrobe. Ask the accommodation provider about deliveries and whether someone must accompany the load.
Plan student term-start moves at your Blockley address
At a hillside Blockley home, measure the route from the largest item to the intended loading position. Record steps separately from a continuous slope and explain any turning point where a sofa or wardrobe must be rotated.
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 student term-start moves, prepare: accommodation arrival slot; confirmed room contents; your own boxes and furniture.
- 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.
Plan arrival, keys and unloading together
An accommodation arrival slot is separate from your transport booking. Give the allowed window, key collection point and floor level. Ask about lifts, loading access and the distance to the room. Include the real destination postcode even if the move starts in Blockley and ends at a campus elsewhere.
Keep these essentials with you
- Keys, identity documents and accommodation contact details.
- The items needed before boxes are unpacked.
- Any medicines, valuables and personal electronics you choose to carry yourself.
