If you are moving in East Finchley N2 and the access is tight, awkward, or just plain unforgiving, you already know the problem: the job sounds simple until a sofa meets a narrow hallway, a steep step, a parked car, and a front door that barely opens wide enough for a kettle.

Moving along Ballards Lane in Finchley can look simple on a map and still turn into a bit of a faff in real life.
