Lifts, loading zones and landlords: what sets the hours on a flat move

  • Lift or stairs

    A booked service lift moves a flat quickly. A lift shared with residents at 5pm does not, and three flights of stairs in a Mount Victoria walk-up add time on every trip.

  • Corridor length

    Some apartment blocks put 50 metres of corridor between the lift and your door, walked once per load.

  • Where the truck parks

    Loading zones on Cuba Street, Lambton Quay and Courtenay Place fill fast and have time limits. Some streets need a council permit to reserve a space, which you arrange with the council if your street needs one.

  • Building rules

    Many apartment buildings set move hours, need the lift booked and want lift protection fitted. Ask your building manager early and send us the rules.

  • Protection

    Guarding door frames and walls takes a few minutes and costs far less than a damage charge off your bond.

  • Your deadline

    An 11am final inspection on your last tenancy day fixes the start time.

Apartment movers for the CBD, the inner suburbs and beyond

We move apartments in Te Aro, Thorndon and along the waterfront, villa flats and walk-ups in Mount Victoria, Mount Cook, Newtown and Kelburn, and units in Kilbirnie, Johnsonville and Tawa. Over the harbour we cover the apartment blocks in Petone and Lower Hutt, and Transmission Gully puts Kāpiti Coast flats within easy reach.

The short answer

RelocatioNZ moves flats and apartments across Wellington, the Hutt and Porirua. A 1-bedroom flat costs from $315 and a 2-bedroom flat from $420, including GST, using two movers and a truck at $210 per hour. Stairs, lift wait times and parking distance change the hours needed.

Flat and apartment moving questions

How much does it cost to move a 1-bedroom flat in Wellington?

From $315 including GST with RelocatioNZ. That covers two movers and a truck for about 1.5 hours with easy access at both ends. A walk-up with several flights of stairs, a slow shared lift or a long carry from the loading zone adds time. Dan prices your flat from your details.

Do I need to book the lift in my apartment building?

Yes, in most buildings. Contact your building manager, ask for a lift booking for your move window and check whether they want lift pads fitted or a bond paid. Send those rules to Dan so the crew arrives at the right time and uses the right entrance and lift.

Can you move me out on the last day of my tenancy?

Yes. Tell Dan your final inspection or key handover time when you book, and he will set the start time to fit. Book early for the last weekday or Saturday of the month, because those dates fill first with other renters on the same deadline. Saturdays and Sundays are available at the same hourly rate.

What if there is no parking outside my apartment?

The crew uses the nearest loading zone or legal park and carries from there, which adds time. For some inner-city streets you can apply to Wellington City Council to reserve a space for the truck. That one is on you rather than us, and it is worth doing early if parking is tight. Tell Dan where you think the truck can stop.

Will you protect the walls and doors in my rental?

Yes. The crew wraps furniture and takes care around door frames, stairwells and lift interiors, so you avoid damage deductions from your bond. Point out any existing marks before loading starts so everyone agrees on the condition of the flat.

Can you move only my room from a shared flat?

Yes. Room and studio moves start from $210 including GST, which covers two movers and a truck for about an hour. Your flatmates' furniture stays put. See the small moves page for prices, or choose "A few items" in the quote form and list what is coming with you.

Out of your flat on time, for a price you know now

Send the floor, the lift situation and your handover date. Dan does the rest of the planning.
