Know Your Dates
Student tenancies often start and end on the same day across a whole street, which means removal availability gets booked up fast around late June and September. Booking early gives you more flexibility.
Work Out What's Actually Yours
In shared houses, it's easy to lose track of what belongs to who. Before moving day, agree with housemates what's staying, what's going, and who's responsible for any shared furniture.
Pack Smart, Not Big
Student moves are often about volume of boxes rather than large furniture. Clearly labelled boxes by room save time both loading and unloading — especially useful if you're moving into a shared house with several other people's belongings arriving at once.
Check Access at Both Ends
Halls of residence and shared houses can have specific access rules — booked lift slots, restricted moving hours, or no direct vehicle access. Check both your old and new address in advance so moving day goes smoothly.
