Match the loading permission to the collection
For a Solihull collection using a restricted roadside position, settle the proposed vehicle, location and dates before choosing the slot. The permission and the seller's availability need to overlap.
If you can use a private drive instead, check its usable entrance and arrange for parked cars to be moved before the van arrives. Do not assume an earlier start solves a permission problem.
Put the fixed appointments in order
- Confirm when the load will be ready, including any furniture preparation.
- Record the collection access window and the latest agreed property handover.
- Confirm receiving keys, building appointments and any extra stop before choosing transport.
A preferred time is not a confirmed appointment. Tell support about any uncertain key release or restricted access window before booking.
Check the local arrangements
For the Solihull address, use Solihull parking reference as a starting point for the current street requirements. Confirm that the guidance covers the actual location and proposed use; it does not grant private-building access.
