Local realities in Greenwich — and how we adapt
University of Greenwich and the regeneration around the Peninsula sustain steady demand. Local property mix: Georgian terraces near the World Heritage Site, post-war estates through Woolwich, and high-density new-build at the Peninsula.
Vehicles sized to the streets
Medieval and Georgian streets in this part of the UK weren't designed for a 7.5-tonne Luton. We default to short-wheelbase or transit vans where access is tight, sometimes splitting the load across two smaller vehicles rather than risk a stuck truck in a one-way Georgian terrace. If the council has a footstreet scheme with timed access, we apply for the permit in advance — that's part of the service, not an extra you have to figure out.
Borough rules, building rules
London boroughs each run their own parking, suspended-bay and dispensation systems, and most large blocks layer building-specific rules on top — lift bookings, agreed move-in days, hours of work and waste-route restrictions. We've worked across most of London's residential stock and know the difference between a TfL red-route restriction and a borough loading bay, between Westminster's permit rules and Lambeth's. We handle the admin so you don't have to chase the council the night before.
What's included
Post-Brexit European moves involve customs paperwork even for personal effects. We support with the ToR1 (Transfer of Residence) application, packing inventory in the required customs format, and route planning across the most efficient ports.
