What you'll need to move house in Keighley

The useful kit is not more boxes. It is keys, a parking plan, and a bag you do not pack.

Keys and a notebook ready for moving day

Before the week of the move

You need two addresses, a likely date, and a sense of how full the house is. Tell us about lofts, sheds, pianos and any street where a van cannot stop. That is the enquiry for a house removal. Bradford Council is who you tell for council tax when the date is real. If the new home is in North Yorkshire, use that council instead.

The bag that stays with you

  • Keys and fobs for both homes.
  • Medication, glasses and a phone charger.
  • Passports and the solicitor’s number.
  • Kettle, mugs, snacks, toilet roll and bedding for the first night.
  • A tape measure if you are still unsure a sofa will fit.

Do not put this bag in the van.

The house on the morning

Defrost the fridge. Empty the washing machine. Clear the stairs. Point out what is not going. If you are in Keighley Town Centre, know the lift rules. If you are in Long Lee or Riddlesden, know the school-run time. Photos of the street help us more than a floor plan.

People

Someone who can make decisions should be at both ends. Children and pets need a plan that is not “they will be fine in the hallway”. Insurance is provided. Ask us what is covered when you book.
