Fetching a second-hand find home to Tadcaster

Sellers in LS24 live on the same estates as buyers, which helps: a close off Stutton Road or Wighill Lane is a quiet residential street, and the seller can be at home while it is loaded. Collections from Wetherby, about 7 miles west, or from York, about 10 miles east, are short runs. For a city terrace with no space outside, ask the seller where a van can stop before agreeing a time.

Pay the seller yourself, by bank transfer or however you have agreed, before the collection; the driver does not handle money. Ask for the measurements, and whether a bed or wardrobe has already been taken apart, as dismantling at the seller's adds time. Send the listing photos so anything not as described is spotted on the doorstep, and pass on the seller's number so the driver can ring when close.
