Moving in Birmingham: what you should know

• Parking and access across Birmingham: Birmingham city centre and many residential areas including Edgbaston, Moseley and Harborne have controlled parking zones. A temporary bay suspension is required on most streets on moving day and must be arranged with the relevant borough in advance. Your Pickfords move manager will advise on requirements for both properties.

• Moving to or from a Birmingham flat: Birmingham has seen significant residential development, particularly in the city centre and areas around Digbeth and Brindleyplace. Modern flat developments typically require lift bookings and loading bay reservations made in advance. Some buildings also ask for a refundable damage deposit. Your move manager will contact the building management team and handle the necessary arrangements.

• Long-distance moves to and from Birmingham: Birmingham is centrally located in the UK, making it a common hub for long-distance moves to London, Manchester, Bristol, Edinburgh and beyond. For moves of 100 miles or more, we recommend booking eight to twelve weeks in advance to secure your preferred crew and date.
