Moving advice · Hamilton
Planning a move in Hamilton? From preparing your home and organising access to moving day itself, a clear plan can make the whole process easier.
Hamilton house moves
Moving house in Hamilton might mean moving across the city, relocating from the suburbs into a different part of Hamilton or moving between Hamilton and another Waikato town.
The distance is only one part of the move. Property access, stairs, driveways, parking, furniture size, packing and the amount being moved can all affect how the day works.
Hamilton moversBefore moving day
If you are packing your own belongings, aim to have boxes sealed, labelled and ready to move before the team arrives. Keep anything you are taking personally separate.
Clear hallways, entrances and pathways where possible. Think about how large furniture will get from the rooms to the moving vehicle.
Consider where the moving vehicle can safely park and how far the team will need to carry belongings between the property and the truck.
Let the moving team know about fragile, unusually heavy, oversized or awkward items before they are moved.
Hamilton properties
The distance between the truck and the house can affect how efficiently belongings can be moved. Consider vehicle access at both properties.
Narrow entrances, stairs and tight hallways can affect how larger furniture and appliances need to be handled.
Make sure keys, gates and access arrangements are ready at the destination so unloading can begin without unnecessary delays.
Moving day
When the team arrives, the details of the move and any particular instructions can be confirmed before loading begins.
Furniture, boxes and other belongings are carried from the property and loaded as part of the overall moving plan.
Once loaded, the vehicle travels to the new property. The journey time depends on the distance, route and conditions.
Belongings are carried into the new property. Clear instructions about where furniture and boxes should go can help the unloading process.
