Make the Gorgie tenement stair part of the plan
For a flat move, describe the floor and the route through the common stair to the entrance. Check landing turns and the largest furniture's travelling dimensions. Do not list lift access unless a usable lift actually serves your property. Give the man and van team a realistic description before choosing loading help.
Keep the common entrance functioning
Arrange keys or entry assistance for controlled doors. Pack boxes inside the flat and leave the shared stair clear until the team is carrying them. Identify the lawful loading point and the route from it to the entrance; a busy frontage or side-street stop may leave a carry that needs describing.
Coordinate keys without losing access
Arrange tenancy handover around the collection so belongings are not locked upstairs. Send the receiving floor, entry contact and any appointment with the booking details. Keep essentials and keys available. If an item needs preparation to clear the stair, agree who performs that work before moving day.
