At the property or by video. Free either way, and nothing about it obliges you to book.
Victorian and Edwardian villas on the leafy roads, interwar semis through North Finchley, mansion flats on the main routes, and the large family houses people stay in for thirty years. Surveyed properly, wrapped properly, written down.

Victorian and Edwardian villas and terraces make up much of N2 and N3. Boards and padding down before anything moves.
Much of Finchley is controlled parking. We check your bays and tell you whether a suspension is worth applying for.
What is included, what is not, and what would change it.
Six things that shape a move in N2, N3 and N12 — none of them guesswork.
Victorian and Edwardian villas and terraces through East Finchley and Church End; interwar and post-war semis with driveways through North Finchley and Woodside Park. Same town, same volume, genuinely different lengths of day.
N2, N3 and much of N12 are controlled, the leafy roads narrow considerably once cars are on both sides, and the period stock has almost no off-street standing. Bays checked at survey, suspension advised where it is worth it.
Original boards, tall rooms, period joinery and a staircase with a turn. Boards and padding go down before the first item moves, and the route through the house is agreed rather than improvised.
Common on the period stock and worth flagging early: what went up before the conversion stair was fitted sometimes cannot come down whole. We look at that specifically.
Proper goods lifts and wide landings, with a porter to tell, a lift to book and sometimes permitted hours. Easy buildings — provided the arranging happens before the date is confirmed.
Both busy at predictable hours. That is a timing question rather than an access one, answered by choosing the loading window at survey instead of discovering it on the morning.
Whole households across N2, N3 and N12 — period villas and terraces, interwar semis, and the family houses people stay in for decades.

Edgware has its own specialist on our network and we do not poach it. Muswell Hill, Golders Green, Whetstone and Totteridge sit on our boundary and we work up to it. For a genuinely London-wide move, our pan-London sister sites cover the whole city properly.
Who covers what →Out on the A406 to the M1 or round the M25 to the Kent crossings. Four destinations, route-pair framed, with the customs file built from the same inventory the crew works to.
Across most of it, yes. N2, N3 and much of N12 are permit-controlled, the leafy roads are narrower than they look once cars are parked both sides, and there is very little off-street standing on the Victorian stock. We check your specific bays at survey and tell you whether a suspension is worth applying for.
Most of what we do. Tall rooms, original boards, a staircase that turns, and frequently a basement or a loft conversion on top. On these the building is often more fragile than the contents, so protection goes down before anything moves.
Usually, with the right hour. The residential roads through East Finchley and around Church End are narrow once parked both sides, so we start early where the dates allow and agree the loading point at survey rather than finding one on the day.
Regularly. The mansion blocks on the main routes have porters, goods lifts and booking sheets; the conversions have a staircase built for one household now serving three. Different problems, and we ask about both before pricing.
Yes — wrapped, listed on an inventory and racked indoors, collected as part of the same move. North London chains run long and a lot of the older stock wants work before anyone moves in.
