Start with what is actually coming

Sort your room into things to move, things to store and things you no longer need. Count suitcases and boxes and measure any furniture. Check what your next accommodation already provides before moving duplicate items.

Work backwards from arrival

Confirm key collection hours, any check-in slot and the route to your room. Ask the accommodation team where a van may stop and whether lifts can be used for moving. Share those restrictions when requesting a collection window.

Make boxes easy to handle

Use secure boxes and keep dense items such as books in smaller loads. Label them by destination and avoid putting unnecessary personal details on the outside. Keep devices, documents and first-night essentials with you.

Coordinate shared moves clearly

If you are moving with friends, separate each person’s inventory and label destinations. Multiple collection or delivery addresses can affect time and price. Agree who will be present and who is responsible for coordinating the booking before the day.
