Collection from the UK property
We agree the load and access, collect within the confirmed window and record the move against your Jovada booking.
UK STORAGE BEFORE FRANCE
When your UK and French moving dates do not line up
Collect now, store securely in the UK and arrange the France delivery when the destination is ready.
Reviewed by Jovada Express operations team · Updated September 2026
You may have to leave the UK property before completing on a French home, securing a long-term rental or finishing renovations. Storage lets the collection happen without forcing an unsuitable delivery date.
Storage between the two homes
The goods remain stored until the onward move is ready to be planned. Keep us updated about the likely destination date and any address change.
Customs prepared for the actual move
The final destination and circumstances affect the customs file. Do not assume storage removes the need for accurate address evidence, inventory or France-specific documents.
Onward delivery to France
Once the documents, address and timing are ready, we confirm the transport plan and arrange the France leg using shared or dedicated capacity as agreed.
PRACTICAL QUESTIONS
Questions customers ask before moving to France.
Can Jovada collect before I have a French delivery address?+
This can often be planned using UK storage, provided Jovada knows the circumstances in advance. A provisional destination area helps with the quotation, but the final address and access must be supplied before customs and onward delivery can be confirmed.
Are storage and onward delivery included automatically?+
Only the services written into the quote are included. The storage period, handling and later France transport should be confirmed in writing. If the storage period changes, ask for the updated amount before arranging the onward move.
Can I add more belongings while the load is stored?+
Do not add goods without agreement. Additional items can change the booked allowance, inventory, customs declaration and vehicle capacity. Send the revised list to Jovada so the paperwork, space and price can be reviewed before onward transport.
When should the French delivery date be booked?+
Contact Jovada as soon as the property, address and availability become clear. The delivery window depends on the customs file, chosen shared or dedicated service, vehicle availability and destination access; it should not be assumed from the original UK collection date.
Storage charges, handling and onward transport are confirmed in writing. Tell us about goods needing special conditions before booking.
