The access issues that matter most
Georgian terraces, converted flats and modern apartment blocks sit close together, so the same move can involve a code gate, a shared lobby and a narrow stair in one job. That changes how furniture turns, how many people are needed on the carry and whether specialist protection is sensible.
Outdoor friction points
Kerbside space is limited and a removal lorry often needs a booked bay or a carefully timed loading stop rather than casual parking outside the door. Even before the crew reaches the door, slopes, steps, weather exposure or a long path can add effort and increase the risk of delays.
How to plan around them
Measure the route, flag any gate codes or management rules, and separate awkward items early. Access problems are manageable when they are described properly before move day.
