Apartment moves in Sydney require careful access planning because lifts, loading areas, hallways and building rules can affect the schedule. This checklist helps renters prepare both properties before moving day.
Check building requirements
Ask building management whether lift bookings, protective coverings, move-in time slots or deposits are required. Confirm loading-zone and visitor parking arrangements for both addresses.
Measure access points
Measure doors, corridors, lifts and stairways, then compare them with large furniture dimensions. Identify items that need to be disassembled and keep their fittings in labelled bags.
Pack room by room
Use strong boxes and avoid making them too heavy. Label each carton with its destination room and contents. Pack a separate essentials box with medication, chargers, cleaning supplies, toiletries and basic kitchen items.
Prepare the property
Clear walkways and keep pets away from active moving areas. Photograph the rental condition where appropriate and follow the agreed cleaning and key-return process. Protect common areas according to building requirements.
