Give useful information that is already settled
List the furniture, approximate boxes and both postcodes. Add floors, lifts and any preparation you need. Explain whether timing depends on property completion, a tenancy, building access or a seller. If you have several possible dates, say which are realistic rather than entering an arbitrary fixed date.
Plan provisional moving dates at the Shrewsbury address
For provisional moving dates involving Shrewsbury, give the full SY1 address and the exact entrance. Use Shrewsbury, Shropshire and the complete SY1 address; distinguish the property from a general town-centre, riverside or wider county destination. Identify the exact street and entrance within or beyond the river loop, including one-way routes, timed restrictions, pedestrian areas, floor level, carrying distance and lawful loading access.
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 provisional moving dates, prepare: likely moving period; reason the date is provisional; known load and access details.
- Name the actual Shrewsbury entrance and receiving contact, not merely a landmark, car park or town-centre reference.
Reconfirm when the date becomes definite
A provisional discussion is not a held slot. Once you know the date, ask for availability and the current scope and price to be confirmed. Changes to the load, addresses or access can affect the plan as well as the date. Review the booking terms before making other time-dependent promises.
What to update later
- The confirmed day and access windows at both properties.
- Any changed furniture, box count or extra collection.
- Packing, dismantling and carrying work to be included.
Your Shrewsbury enquiry checklist
