Use an item list instead of a house-size estimate
Walk through each room and list only the belongings included in the move. Specify quantities where similar chairs, shelves or boxes remain behind. Mark selected pieces consistently, and have someone available who can resolve questions. Do not rely on vague instructions such as taking “about half” of a room.
Plan part-house 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 part-house moves, prepare: a selected removal list; clear stay-or-go labels; destination for every item.
Resolve destinations before loading
If some furniture is going to family and the rest to a new home, number the stops and label each item accordingly. Separate donations, sales and unwanted items that you are arranging yourself. This transport enquiry does not include waste clearance. Report additions before the booking so capacity and carrying time can be reviewed.
Prepare the selected load
- Keep boxes for the move separate from boxes staying in the property.
- Record dimensions of the large pieces included.
- Name a contact who can confirm what is authorised to leave.
Your Solihull enquiry checklist
- For part-house moves, have these details ready: a selected removal list; clear stay-or-go labels; destination for every item.

- Explain any unresolved permission, timing or handling question before accepting a quote.
- Check the quote’s supplier, price, inclusions and booking terms before confirming.
