annabel managed a move for a client transitioning from a five-bedroom West London townhouse to a modern property. The client, who had lived there for forty years, needed help organising, packing, storing, and disposing of items. Some belongings were also to be shipped to France. With a six-week gap between moves, careful planning was essential, particularly with regards to the interim storage requirement.

Key challenges included:

- A short three-week timeframe from instruction to the move.
- Sorting decades of belongings.
- Coordinating local removals, storage, and international shipping.
- Managing the administration of utility transitions and unexpected removal company delays.

annabel created a structured timeline and cost estimate. Steps included:

1. Conducting a photographic room-by-room inventory.
2. Strategically mapping out furniture placement in the new home.
3. Advising on early disposal of unnecessary items to streamline the move.
4. Coordinating with utility providers and putting in extra measures for the internet and telephone provider as the timeframe was shorter than their required one month notice period.

The move was completed on time and within budget.

✓ Clutter-free packing reduced storage needs.
✓ Unwanted items were repurposed, minimising waste.
✓ A structured approach ensured a stress-free transition.
✓ The removals team praised the efficiency of annabel’s process.
