How to Prepare for Your Apartment Move
Proper preparation is key to a successful apartment move. Follow our expert tips to ensure your apartment relocation goes smoothly and efficiently.
How It Works
Building Management Coordination
Contact your current and new apartment building management 2-3 weeks in advance. Book elevator access, arrange parking permits, and confirm loading zone availability for moving day.
Measure Everything Important
Measure furniture dimensions and apartment doorways, hallways, and elevator dimensions. This prevents moving day surprises and ensures all items can navigate tight spaces.
Declutter Before Packing
Apartment moves are perfect for decluttering. Sell, donate, or dispose of items you no longer need to reduce moving costs and make unpacking in your new apartment easier.
Label Boxes by Room & Priority
Use a clear labelling system with room destinations and priority levels. This speeds up placement in your new apartment and helps you find essentials immediately after moving.
Plan for First Day Essentials
Pack a 'first day' box with essentials like toiletries, medications, phone chargers, and basic tools. Keep this accessible for immediate needs in your new apartment.
Document & Photograph Valuables
Create an inventory of valuable items with photographs. This protects you with insurance and helps our team understand which items need extra careful handling during your apartment move.
