Tips for moving in Leeds
- Streets in the city centre are mostly pay and display or have loading restrictions, and several inner suburbs have residents’ parking schemes. Check the signs on your street and tell us where the van can stop safely.
- Many moves in the Arena Quarter, the city centre and Leeds Dock are in apartment blocks with a concierge, booked lifts and set loading areas. Confirm your lift slot and access rules with the building before moving day.
- Headingley and Hyde Park are popular with students from the University of Leeds and Leeds Beckett, and tenancies there often change over in summer. Book early if you are moving around the end of the academic year.
- Otley Road through Headingley, the Inner Ring Road and the M621 can be slow at peak times, so early starts help. Leeds does not have a charging clean air zone, so there is no daily charge for the van.
