The old place
Grouped by what becomes of the house you are leaving, because that decides who you are answerable to, what record the job needs, and whether the date is even yours to choose.
Two outcomes at once — a sale and a downsize, say — is one job here, not two bookings.
A completion date somebody else sets, and a chain behind it.
A completion at both ends
The ordinary sale-and-purchase move, which is ordinary right up until the moment two solicitors have to agree on an hour. Everything about the day is shaped by a handover you do not control.
What it involves →A sale plus a serious edit
A sale where the new address will not hold what the old one did. The move itself is the small half of this; deciding, in a house you are about to leave, is the large half.
What it involves →A landlord, an agent and an inventory waiting at the door.
A check-out and an inventory
A rented house handed back to an agent with a clipboard. What matters is the state of the rooms once the furniture has gone, which is a different job from getting the furniture out.
What it involves →Furnishings out, or in
Your own house becoming somebody else's home. Furniture comes out and goes into store, or new furnishings go in, and both need a record because the next occupant is a tenant rather than you.
What it involves →Nobody is moving in behind you, and the record matters more than the pace.
An estate, room by room
A house nobody lives in any more, usually with a long history in it. The deliverable is not speed; it is a written account of what was in the property and where each part of it went.
What it involves →The old place has a date. The new one does not. Yet.
Held while the chain resolves
Goods collected, listed and held because the old place has a date and the new one does not. The commonest reason a Pinner move needs storage, and rarely a sign of poor planning.
What it involves →Four things, and the number of bedrooms is not one of them. How much is genuinely travelling, taken with a tape rather than inferred. What the access allows at both ends. How much packing you want done. And whether anything is being held while the far end settles.
On a letting or an estate there is a fifth: how much recording the job needs. A listed clearance with a three-way split takes longer than an owner move of the same volume, and the quotation says so plainly rather than burying it.
No price, rate card or transit time appears anywhere on this site, because none of them is knowable before a survey. Begin on the quote form, or read the questions page.
Sold, handed back, let out, cleared, or nothing settled yet. That answer plus the two addresses is enough for us to ask you something useful back.
