Separate the goods that travel from property contents that stay. Then describe the actual home entrance and room-to-vehicle route, including stairs within a maisonette as well as any shared building access.

Make a clear travelling inventory
List your furniture, packed boxes and loose accessories with the largest prepared dimensions. Identify landlord-owned or other occupants’ belongings that remain, so the transport brief describes your actual load rather than every object visible in the flat.
Agree preparation and label furniture sections and fixings. Declare unusually heavy, delicate or specialist items before selecting space and help. Include every separate pickup or delivery with its own goods, contact and access record.
Locate the home behind the address
Tower Hamlets’ Lansbury appraisal records homes above Chrisp Street shops and housing grouped around small greens. For your own collection, give the residential furniture door, block and flat rather than the shopfront or green-side landmark alone.
Describe the route from the starting room through internal maisonette stairs, shared corridors and the agreed entrance. Add any permitted furniture lift and the carry to the lawful vehicle position. Use the prepared-piece route sheet for difficult turns.
Check delivery and admission independently
Ask the recipient to check the same largest prepared section through their doorway, stairs or permitted lift and final room. Obtain receiving keys and any actual building appointment or opening contact.
Choose help for both full carries. If using customer loading, arrange your own people at collection and delivery. Include access, stops, preparation and the complete inventory with the pricing inputs, rather than comparing a flat label or floor number alone.
A maisonette load excludes property furniture
Hypothetical example: a Poplar tenant moves a prepared bed, desk and boxes from a maisonette above shops. They identify the actual residential door and internal flight, and record that the landlord’s cabinet stays behind.
The recipient checks the bed sections and desk through the receiving route. The quote reflects the selected goods and both complete carries, with available admission contacts.
Keep a tenancy-load quote brief
- Your travelling goods, prepared dimensions and loose parts.
- Property contents that remain identified separately.
- Residential door, block, flat and internal maisonette stairs.
- Shared route, lawful position and receiving room.
- Contacts, stops, fixed periods and selected help.
Use London quote preparation for the wider comparison and confirm street and estate admission separately.
Common questions
Should the landlord’s furniture appear in my moving inventory?
Identify what stays and list the goods actually travelling, resolving ownership questions with the landlord or agent.
Do internal maisonette stairs need separate notes?
Describe them independently of shared stairs, corridors and any lift used beyond the home.
