Man and Van Eastbourne

1. 1
   For Rent a Van Eastbourne, 1.

   Book at least 48 hours ahead for weekday moves and at least a week ahead for Saturday slots, particularly during July and August when Eastbourne sees high visitor numbers and accommodation turnover is at its peak.

2. 2
   Dismantle flat-pack furniture before the team arrives.

   IKEA beds, wardrobe frames, and bookshelves take up three times the van space when assembled. A screwdriver and 20 minutes the night before saves a second van run and cuts your bill.

3. 3
   Pack boxes to a consistent weight.

   Boxes over 20kg slow loading and increase the risk of dropped items on Eastbourne's often steep front steps, particularly on properties along Cavendish Place and Burlington Place near the seafront.

4. 4
   Label each box with the destination room, not just the contents.

   When the crew unloads into your new property on, say, Upperton Road or Grange Road, clear labels mean boxes go straight to the right room and you do not spend the evening moving things twice.

5. 5
   Reserve a parking space outside both properties if possible.

   On roads like Seaside and Langney Road, there is a mix of permit zones and pay-and-display bays. Checking which zone applies to your property before the move saves 30 minutes and avoids a parking ticket.

6. 6
   Defrost the freezer the night before.

   A full freezer cannot travel upright in a van, and water leaks damage other items. Give it at least 12 hours with the door open and dry the interior before the move.

7. 7
   Have all paperwork ready at the destination.

   If you are moving into a managed property in Sovereign Harbour or a new-build in Hampden Park, having your tenancy agreement or completion letter to hand avoids the crew waiting outside while you locate documents.
