Lifts, permit bays and loading spots for a Warrington flat

In the centre the question is where the Transit can stand. Bank Quay, around Arpley Street, Bath Street and Hanover Street, is a resident permit zone where visitors get 90-minute waiting bays instead of permits, and Whitecross has a scheme of its own. Where a yellow line is the only kerb near the entrance, Warrington Borough Council issues a loading dispensation at £15 per vehicle per day, with three working days' notice.

Inside the block, the lift sets the pace. A one-bed with a lift big enough for a fridge is quick, while a corner sofa that cannot go in upright is carried down flight by flight. Say which floor, how big the lift car is and whether the managing agent wants the move booked in. The Time Square multi-storey is no use for loading, since the van is around 2.5m high.

Fobs, lift slots and the back door: a Warrington flat checklist

If the building asks for removals to be booked, reserve the lift with the managing agent
Check whether the bin store or a rear door is nearer the road than the main entrance
Apply for a council dispensation if the only kerb near the door has a yellow line
Check the sofa's depth against the lift door; if it is too big, the stairs are used and priced in
Pass the fob or entry code to the driver so the main door does not need propping

Floors, lifts and the walk to the door: a Warrington flat price

Which floor you are on, whether furniture fits the lift, how far it is from the kerb to the block door and the miles to your next flat make up the fixed figure. See how we quote for the full breakdown.
