Do not judge the job by mileage alone
Time can be spent carrying furniture down stairs, walking boxes to a loading point and placing items in the new home. List the complete load and explain both properties. A short route does not establish the vehicle size or number of trips; those need to match the inventory and available access.
Plan local home moves at your Bourton-on-the-Water address
For a Bourton-on-the-Water home or accommodation move, identify the correct property entrance and keyholder before estimating the crew’s carrying route. Explain any interval between outgoing and incoming occupants so a vehicle is not planned around unconfirmed access.
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 local home moves, prepare: full postcodes at both ends; complete load and access; keys and receiving arrangements.
- Name the exact receiving premises and loading entrance, then agree who will meet the vehicle. Visitor parking, pedestrian routes and the goods handover are separate parts of the plan.
Coordinate the two doorways
Make sure collection access and new-home access overlap with the agreed plan. If your move depends on a completion or tenancy handover, explain that uncertainty. Keep personal essentials separate even when the destination is nearby. Do not add a second trip on the assumption it is included because the homes are close.
Prepare your local move request
- Give both full addresses or postcodes rather than “just around the corner”.
- Explain proposed loading positions and any shared drives.
- Confirm whether everything moves together or selected items travel separately.
