London's ULEZ and Congestion Charge can add cost to a move, so we price them in from the start rather than adding them on the day.

Check your street's parking rules early. Most London boroughs can suspend a bay for moving day if you apply around ten working days ahead.

For flats with lifts or concierge desks, let the building know your moving date and ask whether the lift needs to be reserved.
