Moving in together: the Bristol plan
For a Bristol Harbourside apartment, confirm the furniture entrance, lift booking and permitted loading location with the building manager. Give the full postcode and block name so the move is planned to the right side of the building.
- A keep-list from each home: include the details for both ends of this move.
- Both collection addresses: include the details for both ends of this move.
- Space and access at the new home: include the details for both ends of this move.
Choose before you pack
Compare beds, sofas, tables and appliances against the space available. Mark duplicate furniture you are selling, storing or leaving behind. The removal inventory should show the final choices, not every item currently owned. Give dimensions of the selected large pieces and identify any dismantling needed.
Coordinate two collections and one delivery
List the homes in a proposed sequence with full postcodes and access times. Note different key-return deadlines and who will be present at each collection. Label boxes by final room, while keeping the source home identifiable if needed. Both loads must fit the agreed vehicle plan rather than being treated as unrelated small jobs.
Decisions to make before enquiring
- Which furniture will actually move into the shared home.
- Whether any item needs a separate family or storage destination.
- Who can approve the combined inventory and booking details.
Resolve gradient, carrying route and vehicle check
When combining a Bristol furniture purchase with a house move, confirm the seller's collection window independently of your key handover. Include packed measurements, dismantling needs and which address should receive each item.
For this moving in together request, explain any uncertainty about both collection addresses before accepting a quote. The collection-ready time, vehicle access and recipient availability must work together; a short driving distance does not remove the handling work.
Before you confirm moving in together
Send the full collection and delivery addresses, a keep-list from each home and both collection addresses, and photographs of any awkward access. Ask for a written scope covering the handling required at your Bristol address.
Check the proposed supplier, price, vehicle or crew, relevant cover and any waiting arrangements. Do not release the goods until the booking and handover instructions have been agreed.
