Treat each South West London borough separately
For a South West London household move crossing borough boundaries, check the loading arrangements independently at collection and delivery. Confirm the precise addresses before comparing application notice requirements.
Put the receiving-key appointment alongside those street windows. A reservation at the old home does not secure the destination, and the same council process should not be assumed for both.
Treat uncertain keys as a scheduling constraint
Confirm the receiving property's opening arrangement before choosing between collection slots. If keys depend on a handover, explain what is confirmed and what remains uncertain. Give the provider the access restrictions at both addresses and discuss the implications of a delay. A convenient departure time does not remove the need for a usable arrival arrangement.
Check permission periods against the whole move
Where loading permission is required, check that its valid period fits the planned activity at that address. Private entrances and building reservations need their own confirmation. Keep the relevant contacts available if a handover or appointment changes. Ask about waiting and change terms before assuming that the team can absorb an uncertain delivery window without affecting the job.
