Poplar moving preparation guide

Settle the travelling selection before packing

List your furniture and boxes and identify property or other occupants’ contents that stay. Resolve uncertain ownership with the landlord or agent. Include goods in cupboards or other agreed storage areas when deciding the complete selection.

Use the quote brief to settle prepared dimensions, all stops, routes and help. Confirm the recipient’s keys and final rooms before relying on the collection arrangement.

Label furniture parts and retain the handover kit

Prepare the bed, desk or other furniture as agreed, label sections and keep fixings with the correct item. Pack loose contents securely and identify delicate goods. Arrange eligible optional work separately rather than assuming it is included in carrying help.

Keep keys, fobs, phone, relevant documents and the items needed for your agreed final property tasks outside the travelling load. The rental handover checklist helps organise collection, final records and key return.

Reconfirm the residential and estate opening arrangements

Ask the available contact to maintain the actual residential entrance and shared route. Keep packed belongings out of internal stairs, communal corridors and escape routes. Reconfirm any estate vehicle entry, lawful street position and permitted lift arrangement separately.

At delivery, confirm the receiving contact, final-room space and whole route. Use the connected-window plan to align building admission with collection and any fixed agent handover. Select help for the maisonette stairs, shared route and complete delivery carry. With customer loading and unloading, arrange sufficient people at both ends. Before booking, give support the agent’s checkout and building limits, allowing for load checks, remaining agreed preparation, both carries, loading, every stop, travel, unloading and final-room placement.

The tenant keeps the checkout kit out of the van

Hypothetical example: a Poplar tenant labels bed sections, desk parts and boxes for a maisonette move. The landlord’s cabinet remains identified on the property record, while the tenant keeps keys and final-check documents accessible.

The opening contact maintains the internal and shared route through loading. The recipient uses the moving list at delivery, while the tenant completes the separately agreed property handover.

Complete transport and property handover checks

At collection, identify all agreed goods and report a change before loading begins. Check the listed rooms and storage areas before the vehicle leaves, maintaining access until the complete load is out.

At delivery, keep admission available through unloading and final-room placement, then reconcile parts and boxes against the shared list. Raise any transport issue through booking support. FMMV allocates a suitable vetted provider after booking according to requirements and availability.
