Describe the property’s real entrance
Explain whether access is through a shared doorway, courtyard, rear entrance or internal corridor. Give the floor and any lift details. Ask the building contact about moving hours and controlled doors. A street-facing address does not necessarily identify the entrance through which furniture can be carried.
Plan town-centre moving access 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.
Confirm the carrying route and any access permission before fixing a vehicle plan. If you need road space, consult the council in advance and keep the application outcome with your move details.
- For Solihull High Street or Mell Square, establish access permission and the allowed vehicle window before arranging the handover.
- For town-centre moving access, prepare: correct entrance and contact; checked loading arrangements; access hours and carrying route.
Coordinate loading with the handover
Check current loading restrictions with the appropriate authority or property manager, then share the confirmed arrangements. Include any time window that depends on a shop, landlord or building staff. Traffic and public access can affect a proposed plan, so arrival times and waiting arrangements need explicit discussion before booking.
Helpful information for assessment
- The entrance to use and how it is opened.
- The suitable loading position, distance and any narrow approach.
- Furniture sizes and difficult turns inside the property.
