Include the garage and garden inventory if it is moving
When preparing a house move in Didsbury, walk through every place you use for storage. If you have a garage, shed or loft, record the items you want transported rather than sending an inventory of the main rooms alone. State which items will already be brought to a safe collection point.
Keep furniture you are selling, leaving behind or disposing of out of the moving list. If a purchase needs collecting from another address, identify it as an extra stop. A collection added during loading changes both the route and the work being requested.

Agree what happens to beds and other assembled furniture
A bed frame, dining table or shelving unit may need preparation before it can be carried safely. Decide whether you will take it apart or want dismantling included. If reassembly is required at delivery, name that separately rather than assuming both jobs follow from booking transport.
For a side entrance or garden route, check the gate opening and any corners. Give the measurements relevant to the furniture being moved. This is more useful than describing access as easy without checking the actual route.
Distinguish requested services from parking permissions
Keep a short record of the agreed inventory, preparation work and collection points. Then check where the vehicle is expected to stop. Manchester City Council provides different processes for suspending a pay-and-display bay and seeking a yellow-line dispensation. Neither is a general permission for every road or private drive.
Use the council guidance for the exact stopping position and confirm who is arranging any permission. A council payment and a requested moving service are different costs; ask what your quote includes before treating either as an additional charge.
