Guide to Moving into a High-Rise Apartment
We have years of experience in Gold Coast furniture removals and have put together a handy guide just for you.
If you’re moving into a high rise for the first time, you are probably feeling a bit daunted by the moving process, involving the lift or stairs.
High rises present their own challenges over moving your belongings from ground level.
Tight Fit
The most important thing about moving into a high-rise apartment is to give it plenty of thought.
You may already think you’ve thought about it plenty, but the moving process itself requires forward planning.
Try to imagine your whole home lifted in the air and sandwiched between other people’s.
The more time you spend getting to grips with the regulations of high rise buildings, the better.
There are national and state rules regarding what is allowed in high rises.
This may well affect which items of furniture or other belongings you decide to take with you.
Check out the size of the elevators in your new building.
Everything you have will be transported in an elevator, apart from anything you can carry up the stairs.
If you have furniture that will not fit into the elevator then it will have to be dismantled.
Listen Up
Use the benefit of other people’s experience and check out online reviews and websites.
Speak to as many people as you can about their experiences of moving into your building.
We have years of Gold Coast furniture removals experience therefore we can give you a great head start.
It may be that you need to put some of your belongings into storage.
People have trouble trying to fit their possessions into high rise living spaces.
By using safe storage facilities, you can give yourself time and space to work out what you will need in the long term.
Moving anywhere is stressful and this stress is often multiplied a number of times when moving to a high rise apartment.
Give yourself as many options as possible, so you have a fall back position.
The more you find out about your new building and surroundings, the better.
Preparation is the key to moving into a high rise apartment.
This is true whether you’re moving to the first or the 21st floor.
By making your move as smooth as possible, you’ll be able to settle in with the least stress.
