Moving Out of John Lester and Eddie Colman Courts

When moving out of John Lester and Eddie Colman Courts, begin with your exact building and booking details. The two names are often presented together, but a driver still needs to know where your belongings are and where collection has been agreed.

The University of Salford’s accommodation information identifies the property as managed by Campus Living Villages and distinguishes it from University of Salford accommodation. Check the operator’s instructions for your own room rather than borrowing another hall’s departure arrangements.

Make the collection details unambiguous

Give the mover the building name, full address from your agreement, flat, room and floor. Ask the village team which entrance should be used and where a moving vehicle can load. Include any arrangements the team says are necessary.

Describe the route between the room and the collection point, including steps or a longer carry. If using a lift is relevant, confirm the arrangement with the building team. Avoid assuming a visible parking space is available or suitable for your booking.

For wider campus-area moves, see our University of Salford moving guide. It helps organise the information for a move within Salford or to another destination.

Check the deadline on your own agreement

CLV’s moving-out FAQ asks residents to remove belongings and return keys before 10am on the contract end date. Read the checkout instructions for your booking and confirm any individual arrangements before selecting a collection time.

Allow time after loading to complete the room check and handover. If your chosen departure is earlier than the contract end, speak to the village team about the process and any contractual questions. The moving booking should fit the agreement rather than being used to guess when your responsibilities end.

Agree the shared-flat jobs before people leave

The university describes John Lester and Eddie Colman rooms as grouped in flats of two to four with shared kitchens and bathrooms. That makes it useful to agree who is taking personal items from those spaces before the first person departs.

Separate your belongings from accommodation equipment. Work out what happens to anything bought jointly, and make a plan for food and household supplies. Do not assume somebody remaining in the flat will take responsibility for what you leave behind.

Quote for the actual load

List boxes, suitcases and bags, then add a separate line for each larger item you own. Include a bicycle, television or self-bought furniture if it is travelling. Give dimensions where an item is awkward or bulky.

Use suitable packaging for breakables and electronic equipment. Keep heavy books in manageable boxes and tape bases securely. Put your travel documents, medication, chargers and first-night essentials in a bag that stays accessible.

Request a quote through our student moving service, including the floor, access details, destination and deadline. Update the inventory before the day if packing reveals a larger load than expected.

Moving with a flatmate

Ask about a combined collection if you have compatible dates. Provide both inventories and every delivery address so the mover can assess the full route. One student’s room plus another student’s room may require different space and loading time from the first quote.

Agree who communicates with the mover and how payment will be organised. Label belongings by person and destination, and make sure everyone is ready at the booked time. Keep the contact number for the person receiving each delivery available.

Plan any gap before your next room

Ask the new accommodation provider when keys can be collected and belongings delivered. If that is later than your departure from the Courts, arrange a temporary destination rather than relying on an informal place to leave boxes.

Frank’s provides transport for student storage moves; you book the storage space. Confirm its accepted items, access process and opening hours, and include the later delivery in your budget.

Where a storage provider includes its own collection, check what is covered before adding another moving booking. Compare the full arrangement for your dates, not just a storage rate.

Keep the final morning manageable

Use our end-of-term moving checklist to finish packing in advance. Keep your phone charged, meet the driver at the agreed point and count the belongings as they leave.

After collection, complete the remaining room tasks and key return with the operator. A confirmed destination, a complete inventory and clear building instructions let the moving quote reflect the job you actually need.
