Prepare a Redland flat for a single departure

Begin with the items leaving your flat, not everything in the shared building. Pack smaller belongings, identify furniture that needs preparation and mark items staying behind. If you are leaving a room in a house share, separate your property clearly so the collection does not depend on sorting ownership on the day.

Check the route while furniture is still in place

For an upper-floor or converted property, examine the room exit, stairs and front entrance. Measure large pieces and tight turns before deciding whether they can travel assembled. Tell the man and van team about the actual route and chosen loading help. Keep communal doors and stair landings free of packed boxes.

Arrange the last keys and contacts

Confirm who can open the collection entrance after you begin moving items. Send the destination access details and coordinate any tenancy handover with the move window. Do not return the only entry key before the collection is complete. Keep a reachable contact at each address if different people are managing departure and arrival.
