Check communal rooms as well as your bedroom
Identify your kitchen equipment, furniture, books and stored boxes. Agree with housemates which shared items are moving before collection day. Label your boxes with a name and destination room. Keep another resident’s similar-looking items separate so the collection does not depend on guessing which is yours.
Plan shared-house moves around your Coventry access
For Coventry moves, identify whether either address is inside a controlled city-centre access area and obtain the building's loading instructions. A key or concierge booking does not grant vehicle access through a bus gate. Give floor level, lift measurements and the lawful vehicle-to-door carrying distance so the move can be assessed with any access permission in place.
Separate the tenancy or key handover deadline from your preferred arrival time. Label each person’s belongings and identify items that should remain in a shared house.
- Check the precise Coventry access zone and permission separately from the recipient's delivery appointment.
- For shared-house moves, prepare: named personal inventory; agreed shared-item ownership; access contact for each home.
Coordinate the people who control access
Confirm who will open each property and where the load can be gathered without blocking corridors. Explain whether housemates are moving at the same time, because shared loading space may be limited. If several residents want transport, list each person’s load and destination before the quote is assessed.
A clear shared-house request includes
- Only the furniture and boxes authorised to leave.
- Floor levels, stair turns and common entrances.
- Any distinct collection or delivery stops for different residents.
Your Coventry enquiry checklist
- For shared-house moves, have these details ready: named personal inventory; agreed shared-item ownership; access contact for each home.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. CV1 is a location reference, not the whole service area.
- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
