Choose the proposed working position and establish its controller, then confirm the applicable street approval. Ask the seller separately which residential entrance may be used and who will admit the team throughout the collection.

Record the exact space, signs and moving activity
Identify the bay, yellow-line position or private space proposed for the purchase collection. Check current signs, markings and notices, with the actual vehicle and date considered before relying on the position.
Use Merton’s suspension and waiver guidance for a position it manages. A private front area or driveway needs its controller’s vehicle permission independently; proximity to the seller’s front door does not settle where the van may work.
Keep the approved vehicle and displayed notice aligned
Merton’s guidance requires the relevant waiver notice to be printed and displayed, and limits use to the vehicles listed for the intended purpose. Retain the actual approval, dates and location with the vehicle details rather than assuming another van can use it.
If the vehicle, date or position changes, confirm the required amendment with the council. Check the current application requirements and charges directly; a resident or visitor permit is not a substitute for the approved suspension arrangement.
Confirm the door serving the seller’s home
At a maisonette collection, ask which door serves the actual home and whether the furniture starts upstairs. Obtain current permission for the porch, front-area route and any shared admission, with an opening contact available through the work.
Describe the complete carry from the lawful position and check delivery independently. Use the piece-and-residential-door record for gate clearance, stairs and turns without treating a street notice as property permission.
The street waiver and seller’s door answer different questions
Hypothetical example: a Raynes Park customer arranges the appropriate street-space waiver for a table collection. The seller then identifies a different residential door from the one the customer expected.
The customer confirms the private entrance and complete carry, checking whether the actual approved position still fits the plan. The waiver remains tied to its own vehicle and location rather than following the furniture door automatically.
