Moving around Birmingham: the homes

Other services in Birmingham
Student moves around Selly Oak and Edgbaston
Birmingham has several universities and a large student population, and many leases turn over in summer. Drivers get busy around the end of June and September, so booking early helps. Student houses often have narrow staircases and shared drives, so say whether your bed and desk will come apart.
Terraces, suburbs and city-centre flats
Moseley, Handsworth and parts of Kings Heath are known for older terraces where on-street parking can be tight, while many city-centre apartments have managed entrances and lift slots. Ask your block manager whether lifts or loading bays must be booked.
Routes and road works
The M5, M6 and the M42 meet around the city, and the Aston Expressway and inner ring road are major routes in and out. Road works and events can slow traffic, so ask your driver to plan an arrival window rather than an exact minute.
Moving beyond the city
Many moves from Birmingham go to Solihull, Sutton Coldfield, Wolverhampton or Coventry. For these, give both postcodes in your quote request so drivers can see the whole route.
