Finish the staying and travelling agreement first
Agree which furnished-property items remain and prepare your own furniture, suitcases and boxes. Include shared-cupboard belongings so the keyholder is releasing one complete known load.
Check the actual room exit, outside steps and furniture turns through the property-route guide. Settle preparation needs before arranging a release appointment around an assembled bulky piece.
Keep a collection keyholder through the work
Agree who opens shared doors and stays reachable until your belongings have left. Confirm the property’s actual checkout arrangements separately from the moving booking.
Share a fixed checkout or onward-travel deadline before booking. The arrival terms explain estimated arrivals; discuss compatibility with the booking team instead of treating that estimate as a guaranteed final handover time.
Connect road arrangements and receiving keys
Confirm current loading conditions or any approved reservation through the loading guide. Include the remaining room-to-van carry and selected assistance, not only driving time.
Check who has destination keys, which entrance can be used and whether the receiving building sets a period. Give both properties’ constraints with the complete load and unloading work.
The customer’s departure does not end access early
Illustrative example: an Earl’s Court tenant has an onward journey after moving their own desk and boxes from a furnished flat. They agree a reachable keyholder through collection and provide the actual checkout dependency before booking.
The recipient confirms keys and the delivery route. The booking team can review available arrangements against the two handovers and full handling work.
Keep a complete-load handover timetable
- Travelling inventory agreed and furniture prepared.
- Actual exit and lawful loading arrangement.
- Collection opening contact available through the work.
- Fixed checkout or onward-travel dependency shared.
- Receiving keys, entry period and full unloading work.
Use the London scheduling guide for wider coordination and the preparation guide for readiness before collection.
Common questions
Can I leave the collection property before everything has gone?
Agree a keyholder who remains reachable and can keep access available through the collection, alongside the property’s checkout arrangements.
How should I share an onward-travel deadline?
Give the fixed dependency before booking with the complete load and both access routes so available arrangements can be reviewed.
