Frequently Asked Questions
How far in advance should I start preparing to move?
Start 8 weeks before your move date for a stress-free experience. This gives you time to declutter, book movers, arrange parking suspensions, and pack systematically. For smaller moves like a 1-bed flat, 4-6 weeks may be sufficient.
What London-specific tasks do I need for moving?
London-specific tasks include: applying for parking bay suspensions at both addresses (7-10 days notice for central London), checking ULEZ compliance of moving vehicles, registering for council tax with your new borough, and being aware of congestion charge times if moving in central London.
When should I book a removal company in London?
Book your removal company 6-8 weeks in advance, especially for popular dates like Fridays and month-ends. London movers can be booked months in advance during peak periods (summer and school holidays).
What should I do on the day of the move?
On moving day: take final meter readings, do a walkthrough of every room, check all cupboards and storage spaces, photograph the empty property, hand over keys to agent/landlord, and keep your essentials bag with you at all times.
