Check the new address before choosing a moving date
Ask the seller, landlord or managing agent about key collection, entrance widths, stairs, lifts and any restricted moving hours. Visit if possible and measure the route for your largest furniture. Use our measuring guide to record the details.
Plan parking and loading
Check signs and current council information for the exact street. Do not assume a resident parking space permits a removal vehicle to load there. Tell Saints about long carries, gates, height restrictions and any permission you need to arrange.
Prepare for a flat or harbour-side apartment
Confirm the floor, whether a lift can be reserved, its dimensions and the route from the vehicle. Check with the building manager about protection for shared areas and access fobs. See flat removals in Eastbourne for a fuller checklist.
Organise the first night
Pack bedding, toiletries, chargers and simple kitchen essentials separately. Keep keys, medication, personal documents and valuables with you. Label boxes by room so unloading follows the layout of the new home.
Tell us where the journey begins
For a local move, provide both postcodes and any timing restrictions. For a longer journey, explain key-release uncertainties before booking. Explore local removals or long-distance moving enquiries, then request a written quote.
