PLAN FOR THE ACTUAL PROPERTY
Before choosing preparation or pickup dates, walk through how people and belongings will enter and leave the property. A ground-floor shop, an upstairs apartment and a detached home may need very different arrangements. These are questions for the actual address, not assumptions about every Norfolk property.
Identify the route from each room to the loading point. Share narrow doorways, stair turns, elevator dimensions or items too large to move assembled. If building management controls access, ask about reservations and permitted working hours.
Identify where a vehicle can load without blocking another occupant or business. Share any access instructions and building requirements before pickup is scheduled. The sale plan should say how arrival, entry and collection will be coordinated.
Separate the rooms, equipment and belongings still in use from those available for sale. Discuss photography, inspection and collection windows so the agreed work can fit around occupants, staff and customers.
BEFORE THE FIRST CONVERSATION
For household belongings, begin with the rooms involved and what the family will keep. For a business, identify owned assets, operating status and any removal work. Photos of access routes can be as useful as photos of the items themselves.
BEFORE YOU DECIDE
Yes, describe the contents and building arrangements in your inquiry. Acceptance and the proposed scope depend on the items and access. Share elevator, parking, entry and working-hour requirements before scheduling any preparation or removal.
Tell us what you have, where it is and what is known about its condition or history. Coastal considers individual items and collections as well as larger projects. A conversation can establish whether an auction is appropriate; not every item will be accepted.
Surplus assets can be discussed separately from a full closure. Identify what can leave service, when it can be inspected and how collection can occur without disrupting the remaining operation. Ownership, disconnection and removal responsibilities should be agreed before sale.
