Buying a used wardrobe or sofa? Check your Bingley doorway before you pay

If you live in Bingley, measure your own house before agreeing to buy. A stone terrace on the valley floor may have a front door into a small vestibule, or a cellar kitchen reached down a narrow flight. A solid oak wardrobe from a seller in Leeds is only a bargain if it can reach the bedroom. Note the tightest door and the stair width, and send them with the advert, so the answer arrives before any money changes hands.

If the seller is the one in Bingley, their home decides the carry. Downsizers on the hillside at Eldwick and Gilstead sometimes list heavy, older furniture from rooms upstairs, with a drive or lane that needs a word first about where the van can stop. The driver compares the piece with the advert photos before loading and rings you from the doorstep if anything is off.

Details that make a second-hand pick-up in Bingley go smoothly

• A link or screenshot of the advert, so the driver knows exactly what was promised
• The seller's phone number and when they are home; evening slots up to 8pm are possible
• For a seller up a lane in Eldwick or Gilstead, where they say a van can pull in
• Your narrowest door and stair width, measured before you commit, especially into a valley-floor terrace with a vestibule
• Whether you have already paid the seller or will pay after the check
