How long does it take to move a home?

There are a number of factors to consider when determining how long it takes to move a house. This includes the amount of utilities to discontinue, personal belongings to pack and how fast your removalists can transfer the furniture, with kitchens and living room essentials taking a little longer than bedroom. The following may help you in estimating the time it will take for you to move house:

#1 Number of belongings

In most cases, a person’s belongings will take the most time in moving to a new house. When the removalists arrive, they have to pack everything into boxes, disassemble furnishings and move it into the truck. This can be prevented by preparing and packing your belongings yourself. Dismantling your cabinets, beds and desks, as well as packing smaller items into labelled boxes can shave off the hours needed when for packing and moving them.

#2 Transferring the utilities

Another important thing to consider when making a move is transferring the utilities. As it may take several days to disconnect your utility services and have them transferred to your new address, you should notify the companies of your move at least a week in advance. This will give them time to arrange the disconnection of their services to your current home before you settle into your new surrounds.

#3 Manpower – Number of Able People

Something else to consider is the number of people who are able to help in the move. Asking your family, friends and neighbours to help out will significantly reduce your packing and moving timeframe, saving you time and money. You could make a fun day of it by providing your workers with pizza and beer as a thank you for their help. You can also ask your removalist company if they are able to provide additional workers to pack your belongings in less time.

#4 Location – Distance to Your New Premises

Obviously the location of your new home will impact the time it takes for your removalists to pack your belongings and move your furniture to your new address. If it is within the same state, it can take just one day for your belongings to be transferred however if your new home is in a different state or overseas, it may take up to a week to move.
