32 clearances have landed in the borough's own postcodes — SW10 most often by a distance, then SW7 in South Kensington.
Mansion blocks and mews
The stock here is stucco terraces, mansion blocks and mews houses, and almost all of it has a complication: a porter who has views about the loading bay, a lift that will not take a wardrobe, a service entrance that must be used instead of the front door, or a residents' association with rules about hours.
Those rules are not obstacles if we know about them. They ruin a day if we find out at nine in the morning. Tell us the block, the floor and the lift when you ring.
Parking is controlled everywhere and enforced without mercy. A bay suspension takes a couple of weeks' notice from the council and can only be applied for by whoever owns or is selling the property.
What the work is
Sales, probate and estate work in the main, with a fair share instructed by solicitors or by family living abroad. Where items may have value, we set them aside and flag them rather than loading them, and we can note them for the estate accounts.
