Moving in together: the Nottingham plan
For Lenton student or shared-house belongings, give the room, floor and a complete list of your own items. If keys are returned before collection, arrange an authorised person to open the property; do not assume the landlord will attend.
- 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 restricted access and the real loading door
For a Nottingham furniture purchase, confirm the actual seller postcode and release time before combining collections. Measure the item and stair route at its destination, and tell us whether dismantling has already been completed.
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 Nottingham 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.
