London & South East

What tends to matter in a London or South East move

Property chains can run long, so timing a sale against a purchase elsewhere takes careful management. This is where chauffeur-driven viewings and estate agent liaison (from Gold Prestige) are most useful.

Leasehold flats
Service charges, managing agents and remaining lease length sit alongside the usual sale process.
Higher values
Downsizing, releasing equity or moving closer to family can be more financially complex. We help you plan around it; we do not give financial or legal advice.
Moving-day rules
Parking suspensions, loading restrictions, the Congestion Charge and ULEZ in central London, plus building rules on lift booking and vehicle access hours. We plan around these before moving day, not on it.

Removals company vs house clearance firm vs Chayce

Three kinds of business help with a move, and they do different jobs. Here is how they compare, so you can choose the right one, or combine them.

What you need	Removals company	House clearance firm	Chayce
Moving belongings to a new home	Yes	No, it empties a property	Yes, fully insured
Packing	Often an extra service	No	Included from Bronze Essentials
Help deciding what to keep, sell or donate	Rarely	Rarely; items are usually cleared in bulk	Yes, with your agreement, from Silver Comfort
Emptying a property for disposal	No	Yes	No
Unpacking and setting up the new home	Sometimes, at extra cost	No	Included from Silver Comfort
One coordinator for the whole move	Not usually	No	Yes
DBS-checked staff	Varies by company	Varies by company	Yes
Legal, financial or care advice	No	No	No, we refer you to the right professional

The first two columns describe what these businesses typically offer; individual companies vary, so always ask what is included. Many families use Chayce for the sorting, packing and move, and a separate local firm for anything that needs disposing of.

London & South East: your questions answered

Do you offer elderly removals in London and the South East?

Yes. Chayce is based in Northampton and arranges elderly removals, downsizing help and settling-in support across London and the South East, with one coordinator managing the whole move.

Does the Congestion Charge or ULEZ affect a removal in London?

They can. Central London moves may involve the Congestion Charge, ULEZ, parking suspensions and loading restrictions. We plan around these before moving day and check building rules on lift booking and vehicle access.

Can you help if I am moving out of a leasehold flat?

We can plan the move around service charges, managing agent rules and lift bookings. We do not give legal or financial advice, so your solicitor should advise on lease questions.
