What access details matter for a move in Sutton Coldfield?
Measure and describe the complete route from each item to the van. Do not rely on the property type alone: the narrowest doorway, a turn on the stairs, a lift opening or a locked shared entrance can change how an item is handled.
Local information to check
Check whether the loading position is a private driveway or council-controlled kerb space. Birmingham's permission process addresses the latter; gate width, turning space and the carrying route still need checking at the property. Read Birmingham parking suspensions and dispensations for the current details.
Make an access record for both addresses
- Measure the largest items and the narrowest doors, corridors and stair turns; send photographs where useful.
- Confirm lift dimensions and any booking rules with the building manager, including who provides access.
- Record steps and the carrying distance from the approved loading position. Tell the booking team if an item cannot pass without preparation.
