Why Dorking properties can be deceptive on move day
Some Dorking homes look straightforward from the outside but hide the real challenge inside the route: tighter stair turns, split-level layouts, upper floors or awkward entrances that slow bulky items down.
That matters on a man-and-van booking because smaller crews rely on keeping each carry clean and repeatable.
Where the layout and parking combine badly
The toughest jobs are often the ones where the property is awkward and the van cannot load close enough to compensate. A flat above shops or a conversion near the centre can quickly become a slower job when stairs, doors and parking all pull against each other.
By contrast, a larger home on a quieter road can be simpler if the route is open and the van can work close to the entrance.
