Follow the route your belongings will use rather than copying the neighbouring house or main front door. Check staying furniture leaves enough manoeuvring room for your own pieces.

Identify the exit serving your room
The 2017 Earl’s Court Village appraisal describes varied terraces, railings, setbacks and lower-ground lightwells; some houses front directly onto the street. Confirm the door and outside levels serving your own property.
Walk the entire route from the room to the proposed lawful position. Include a gate, lightwell landing, outside steps and shared hall where present, with the actual contact’s permission to use them.
Check your piece around the furniture staying
Measure the largest travelling item in its prepared form and the tightest doors, turns and landings. Agree how the route will remain clear around the landlord’s furniture and other occupants’ belongings.
The furniture and basement-access guide develops measuring and preparation methods. Include every prepared section and fixing in the inventory and arrange eligible assistance before collection.
Describe levels and the receiving route separately
Give internal stair storeys under the access terms, with outside steps and intermediate landings separately described. Send photographs or dimensions where the route needs review.
Ask the receiving contact to check the intended room’s doorway and full carry. The loading guide handles street arrangements; include the remaining carry from each actual position.
A desk turns past furniture that stays
Illustrative example: a tenant’s desk is leaving an Earl’s Court furnished home while the supplied sofa stays. They measure the prepared desk through the room door and shared hall, then over the outside steps.
They agree a clear passage with the occupier and send the route dimensions before booking. The recipient checks their own doorway and intended-room turn too.
Keep a personally-owned furniture route record
- Actual room, exit and permitted shared passage.
- Travelling dimensions, parts and staying furniture.
- Doorways, turns and landing measurements.
- Outside levels, internal storeys and full van carry.
- Receiving-room route and selected help.
Include this record in the quote brief. Use the change guide if the prepared item or actual exit later changes.
Common questions
Should I use the main front door as the furniture exit?
Confirm the actual permitted exit serving your room and check every stage to the lawful vehicle position.
Why record furniture that is staying?
Agree what stays and ensure the measured carrying path remains clear around it and other occupants’ belongings.
