Include the smaller rooms and outdoor spaces
Add cots, toy storage, desks, bikes and garden furniture to the main room list. Explain which beds need dismantling and whether they will be ready before collection. Label boxes by destination room, particularly where bedrooms have similar furniture. Do not pack essential items into an unmarked mixed load.
Plan family home moves around your Solihull access
For a Solihull move involving High Street or Mell Square, ask the building contact how furniture vehicles gain authorised access and which hours apply. A daytime key handover may not coincide with a permitted vehicle window. If loading must happen from another lawful point, measure the carrying route and identify lifts or shared corridors; agree the sequence before confirming the move.
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.
- For Solihull High Street or Mell Square, establish access permission and the allowed vehicle window before arranging the handover.
- For family home moves, prepare: whole-household inventory; essential belongings kept aside; receiving rooms clearly labelled.
Keep the carrying route clear
Arrange a separate space for children and pets while furniture is being carried. Keep keys, personal documents and first-night essentials with you. At the new home, have an adult contact who can direct room placement without blocking the entrance. Requested priority items should be discussed before loading starts.
