A little planning. A smoother move.

Work out your Liverpool moving-day handover

Your hall operator and tenancy dates determine when your belongings can move. Choose the situation that fits your next move.

Your moving checklist

Use the hall operator or landlord on your agreement, not just your university name.

A storage gap needs a destination for the belongings on the first moving date.

Check both addresses, including the route from the van to the room.

Use this to prepare. It does not reserve access, arrange a permit or update a booking.

Your next steps

Start with these essentials

  1. List your own belongings separately from furniture supplied by the hall or landlord.
  2. Select your collection window online after confirming key availability. Allow for loading and the journey when planning arrival at the next address.

Your selections stay in this page. Copy the checklist before you leave.

LJMU approved halls, University of Liverpool residences and private shared houses do not share one arrival process.

Shared houses and returning students

The day your new tenancy starts may not be the time you can collect the keys. The old property may need emptying first.

Your next step Write down both handover times and resolve any gap before booking.

04

Storage between Liverpool homes

A storage address needs an accessible unit and someone authorised to open it. The provider’s hours may differ from your preferred moving window.

Your next step Confirm the unit, access code or reception procedure, and opening hours with the storage company.

Local sources checked 7 September 2026. Follow your provider’s latest instructions and the signs at the address.
