London is the UK's most complex city to move in and out of. Higher property values, predominantly leasehold stock, ULEZ compliance requirements, and parking permit obligations all make it essential to use professionals who know the market.
🅿️ Parking suspension tip: Most London streets require a formal parking suspension (around £50–£80 per bay) applied through your borough. Apply at least 5 working days in advance — your removal company will advise but you need to submit the application.
🚗 ULEZ reminder: Since August 2023, ULEZ covers all of Greater London. All Moving Merchant listed removal companies operate ULEZ-compliant vehicles — no surprise charges passed to you.
🏢 Leasehold warning: Over 70% of London properties are leasehold. Always instruct a solicitor experienced in leasehold transactions — management packs, service charge reviews, and freeholder consents add time and cost.
