Count the load room by room
Walk through each room and list furniture separately from boxes. Include sheds, storage cupboards and bulky outdoor items if they are part of the move. A bedroom count is a useful starting point, but does not describe the volume, weight or handling complexity of everything you own.
Record access at both properties
Note floors, lifts, narrow turns and the distance from a legal loading position to the entrance. Check whether your building requires a lift reservation or permission for a vehicle to stop. Share these details early: access can change crew size and the length of the job.
Separate the services you need
Decide whether you are packing yourself, whether furniture needs dismantling, and who will handle specialist items. Ask what the quote includes and what must be arranged separately. Be explicit about storage stops, collection from another address and any gap between leaving one property and entering the next.
Compare on the same basis
Use one inventory and access brief for every quote. Ask what happens if key collection is delayed or the load changes. Rather than relying on a broad average cost, compare the complete scope, schedule and exclusions for your move. Use the C3Moves removals journey to assemble those details.
