What access details matter for a man and van move in Morningside?
Check the route from the loading point to the items, including door widths, stair turns and any lift. For a furniture collection, obtain those details from the seller as well as checking your own address. Choose loading help using the actual items and access.
Local arrangements to check
Edinburgh describes a dispensation for loading on a single yellow line beyond thirty minutes. Confirm that this is the relevant restriction before applying. The correct arrangement depends on the exact Edinburgh street restriction; building access remains a separate permission. Read Edinburgh parking dispensations and suspensions for the current instructions.
Apply this to your address
If furniture is leaving through a side or garden entrance, measure that route as well as the main hall. Match any Edinburgh street permission to the intended loading point, vehicle and date.
Make an access record for both addresses
- Record the lawful stopping position, carrying distance, steps and entrance used.
- Measure awkward items against the narrowest door, corridor, stair turn or lift opening.
- Confirm lift reservations, keys and any building loading slot with the responsible person.
Send photographs and measurements before the move if an item may not pass. Discuss preparation or a different handling plan with the team; do not wait until arrival to discover that the planned route is unusable.
