Build the plan around the street
Start with the exact road layout, loading position and property type. Cottingham contains enough variation that a generic moving checklist is not enough on its own.
Set up the property for loading
Clear the route to the door, separate essentials, dismantle problem items early and keep boxed rooms labelled in the order they need to leave. That matters more where school-run congestion, narrow approach roads in the centre and awkward access into converted buildings
Use the quieter option where you can
Where access is already tight, choose a calmer weekday window and confirm any resident or building rules before the vehicle arrives.
