Apartment Moving Tips

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

1

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.

2

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.

3

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.

4

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.

5

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.

6

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.
