Note anything that cannot be dismantled or safely stacked. Relate it to both addresses in Scotland, item dimensions, parking position and route height before calling.
Check both properties
Record floor level, stairs, lift size, doorway width, parking distance and any permit needs. Relate it to both addresses in Scotland, item dimensions, parking position and route height before calling.
The return or delivery address can be the harder part of the move, so include both ends on the call. Relate it to both addresses in Scotland, item dimensions, parking position and route height before calling.
Plan people and timing

Confirm before committing
