Which building types create the most work
older terraces, maisonettes, family semis, modern flats and a scattering of shared-entry buildings are the main reason property challenges vary across Hoddesdon. Some jobs are smooth because the van sits close and the entrance is direct; others slow down because narrow hallways, stepped entrances and repeated turns through small porches or shared corridors 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. kerb space can tighten near busier central stretches, while newer developments sometimes rely on set-back bays rather than direct frontage 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.
