Identify who controls each handover
Confirm the contact who releases the new keys and whether access is conditional on another event. Ask how updates will be communicated on the day. Keep keys, documents and contact information with you rather than in packed boxes. Do not describe an estimated handover as a guaranteed arrival time.
Plan key handover planning at the Much Wenlock address
For key handover planning involving Much Wenlock, give the full TF13 address and the exact entrance. Use the full name Much Wenlock, Shropshire and the complete TF13 address; distinguish it from Little Wenlock, Wenlock Edge and general Ironbridge-area directions. Identify the precise historic-street, residential or rural approach, including narrow sections, gradients, gates, surface, carrying distance and a safe lawful stopping point.
Check Shropshire Council's interactive roadworks map, current closures and any required temporary restriction process and all current street signs close to the booked date. A postcode does not establish permission, vehicle suitability or a safe handover point; agree private access with the property contact and arrange any required council permission separately.
- For key handover planning, prepare: departure deadline; expected key-release time; contact for access updates.
- Name the actual Much Wenlock entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
Discuss a gap before it becomes waiting time
If the old property must be empty before the new one opens, explain that gap. Ask how waiting, timing changes or separately arranged storage would be handled and priced. No unlimited waiting or overnight storage is implied. Agree the practical options and responsibilities before the booking is treated as settled.
Record the moving-day sequence
- When collection access begins and when the old home must be vacated.
- Where keys are obtained and who can give an update.
- The earliest confirmed access to the receiving property.
