How should I organise a move in Solihull And Black Country?

Build the plan around the inventory, access and key handover at both addresses. Arrange any permissions and building slots before relying on a particular loading window. Then confirm the vehicle, help and arrival details for that plan.

Local arrangements to check

Start a necessary Solihull dispensation request early enough for approval and permit display. Confirm the latest instructions rather than relying on submission alone. Use these published terms with the council’s current application instructions; they do not cover neighbouring Black Country councils. Read Solihull dispensation terms for the current instructions.

Apply this to your address

This service area spans separate councils. Identify Solihull, Dudley, Walsall or the other responsible authority from the actual address; no single permission or notice period covers the whole area. See Dudley parking dispensations, Walsall parking dispensations.

Work through the move in this order

  1. Before booking: list the load, measure difficult items and describe both access routes.
  2. Once the date is known: arrange necessary street permissions and building slots, checking their actual lead times.
  3. Before arrival: finish packing, label rooms, keep essential items separate and confirm keys and contacts.
  4. On the day: check the loading position and tell the team about changes before work starts.

There is no universal booking lead time that guarantees availability. Use the council’s actual notice rules and your building’s arrangements, then check availability for your move details and date.
