Choose an Ely move time from the receiving access

For an Ely removal, confirm when the new property will admit the load before selecting collection. Include keys, a lift appointment or private entrance arrangement where relevant. The receiving window should be considered alongside the time needed to pack, prepare and carry out the old home's contents.

Keep the keyholder connected to the plan

Give a contact who can confirm access and report changes. If that person is travelling separately, explain when they can arrive. Include furniture preparation and any long carry when discussing the schedule. Avoid an inflexible follow-on appointment based only on estimated driving time; arrival at the address is not the same as finishing unloading.

Check the address-specific loading arrangements

For public-road access at the moving address, check Cambridgeshire loading-permission guidance. Confirm the actual loading arrangement before relying on it; permission for private premises is a separate enquiry.

Before you confirm the move

  1. Confirm receiving keys.
  2. Describe both properties' handling.
  3. Keep the keyholder available.
