Which building types create the most work
period homes, town-centre flats, small terraced houses, family homes and shared-entry apartments are the main reason property challenges vary across Hertford. Some jobs are smooth because the van sits close and the entrance is direct; others slow down because older staircases, narrow doorways and awkward internal turns through period layouts break the load into smaller stages.
For bulky furniture, hallway turns and stair width matter as much as the number of items being moved.
Why outside access still matters
Even when the building is the main issue, the external setup still shapes the job. central loading can be awkward where short-stay space is limited, with side-street stops or managed parking areas sometimes doing the real work can add repeated carrying before the crew reaches the first doorway.
That is why the best plan looks at the whole route from room to van, not the property type on its own.
