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 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 student term-start moves, prepare: accommodation arrival slot; confirmed room contents; your own boxes and furniture.
- 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.
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 Bourton-on-the-Water 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.
