Marketplace Collection in Sowerby Bridge

Buying into Sowerby Bridge or selling from an HX6 hillside

Buying: send the listing, the seller's postcode and yours. Ask the seller for measurements and whether it comes down stairs, and check them against your door and stair turn, especially in a terrace off Bolton Brow where the door sits up steps. Paying the seller is between you and them, either in advance or once the item has been checked against the listing.

Selling: the buyer books us and we collect from you. Have the item near the door, legs off if they unscrew, fixings bagged and taped to it. If you are up at Norland, Mill Bank or Cotton Stones, tell the buyer the lane is narrow so the stopping place is planned. In the centre, Wharf Street has almost no kerb space, so a collection there runs from the loading bay or a nearby legal stop.

How a Marketplace collection in Sowerby Bridge works

• Send the listing link, both postcodes and the times the seller is available
• The item is checked against the listing before it is loaded, and you get a call first if something is clearly wrong
• Selling from a terrace off Bolton Brow or Tuel Lane, have the item at the door, since the van stops wherever the slope and the parked cars allow
• For a seller above a Wharf Street shop, the van waits in the loading bay or a nearby car park, so say which floor it is on
• Dismantled items travel wrapped with the fixings bagged, and existing furniture can be rebuilt at your end
• No travel surcharge from Bradford: one fixed price for the collection, the run and the carry in
