A plan for your move

Match your move to your accommodation

Start with the places your belongings are leaving and arriving at. You can use the guidance without completing the checklist, or go straight to your quote.

Optional checklist

This checklist does not reserve access or book a residence slot.

Birmingham city centre · useful local detail

Start with your own residence’s instructions

University Locks · BCU

The published residence address is 50 Curzon Street, Birmingham, B4 7XJ. Use your accommodation address in the quote, rather than a teaching-building address. General parking is unavailable; eligible Blue Badge residents have a separate permit application. This does not identify the removal-van entrance.

Your next stepFor arrivals, BCU home students are asked to book a slot; the international-student route does not require one. Follow your own contract instructions. BCU lists your own furnishings among prohibited items and cannot store ordinary luggage sent ahead.

William Murdoch · Aston / Unite

The operator lists 10 Jennens Road, Birmingham, B4 7ET, on Aston’s campus. The residence address alone does not establish a removal-van entrance or loading bay.

Your next stepFor arrivals, arrange your Unite check-in slot in the app and bring valid photo ID. Find your property’s unloading information in My Account.

Other central accommodation

Use the address and handover instructions for your own residence or landlord. University Locks’ timetable and William Murdoch’s address do not apply to every Birmingham student.

Your next stepRecord the actual entrance, receiving arrangements and floor or lift. Use the other address’s local instructions if it is outside Birmingham.

Match transport to your handover

Choose an available collection window online. It concerns the driver’s arrival at collection; it does not reserve a delivery appointment or say when loading will finish.

Your next stepCheck any fixed key-return or unloading deadline. If flexibility is impossible, confirm the moving service can meet the constraint before paying. Adding a driver note alone does not secure it.

Local sources checked 11 September 2026. Follow the latest instructions for your address and the signs on the day.

Get the details right

Bring a clear plan to your quote

Take the belongings you need

Compare your possessions with the destination’s supplied and permitted furnishings. Add only what you will transport to the quote; do not assume a private flat is furnished.

Separate keys from the van journey

Arrange keys and a recipient at delivery. Add an extra stop to the quote only if the vehicle actually needs to visit it; a key-collection detour or passenger lift is not included automatically.

Plan the lifting help

Choose 1 person if you can provide suitable lifting help at both ends. Compare 2 people for a driver and helper if help is available at only one address or neither.

Put it into practice

Different moves, different preparations

Illustrative plans, not customer case studies. Your quote uses your own route, items and access.

Arriving at University Locks

Choose the arrival instructions that apply to your own booking. A residence slot and the moving service’s collection window are separate arrangements; keep any essential delivery deadline explicit.

Leaving William Murdoch for a private flat

Plan the packed belongings and key return at collection, then use your landlord’s access details at delivery. Arrival rules for a new halls tenancy do not belong in the departure checklist.

Questions about booking

Is the price fixed, or are there hidden costs?

No hidden costs. Your fixed price is based on the details you enter — including your route, items, date, arrival window, crew and any extras.

The total shown before payment is the total you pay, as long as those booking details stay the same. If you change something later, we’ll show or confirm any price difference before it’s agreed.

Are the instant prices real?

Yes. Your prices are calculated live from your route, items, date, nearby driver availability and the options you choose.

That calculation only takes seconds, so there’s no artificial waiting screen and no callback needed. Once you book, your price is fixed for the details you’ve given us.

How do you choose the right van size?

We use the items in your booking to choose a van with enough capacity for your move.

List every item as accurately as you can — it helps us send the right vehicle and is part of what makes your price fixed. If you need to add something later, update your booking at least 48 hours before the move. Changes can affect the price.
