Count belongings outside the bedroom
Include your kitchen equipment, hallway storage and anything in a shared cupboard. Mark landlord or housemate property as staying. If the new room is furnished, decide which of your larger pieces will actually move. An accurate selected inventory avoids planning transport for items that have no destination.
Plan room moves around your Shipston-on-Stour access
For a Shipston-on-Stour move, distinguish the property entrance from a meeting point at Mill Street or Telegraph Street. Give the carrying distance from the proposed stopping place, photographs of any steps and the largest furniture dimensions. For a CV36 address outside the town centre, include the full postcode and driveway approach so the move is planned for the actual property.
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.
- Identify the property door and lawful stopping point separately; a Mill Street car park reference is not a loading instruction.
- For room moves, prepare: your room inventory; furniture staying behind; shared entrance and floor details.
Coordinate access with both households
Ask when shared entrances and stairs can be used, and make sure someone can provide keys at each end. Explain any lift booking or restricted loading space. Keep boxes labelled with your name and the destination room so they remain separate from other residents’ belongings. Request carrying help explicitly.
Before you send the room-move enquiry
- Count bags and boxes as well as furniture.
- Give the floor level and any narrow turns at both addresses.
- Identify furniture that will need dismantling before it can leave.
Your Shipston-on-Stour enquiry checklist
- For room moves, have these details ready: your room inventory; furniture staying behind; shared entrance and floor details.
- Give both full postcodes and identify the exact entrance and receiving point. CV36 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.
