01Studio or one-bedroom flat
The list may include a bed, desk, shelves, appliances and cartons. A small floor area is not necessarily an easy carry without a lift. A studio may include a bed, desk, television, kitchen cartons and clothing. A fourth floor without a lift can take longer to carry than to drive; measure stairs and count cartons.
02Two- or three-bedroom flat
Include children’s room, kitchen, balcony and storage. Label boxes by destination room and measure the long sofa before booking. A two- or three-bedroom flat adds children’s furniture, books, appliances and balcony items. Measure the corner sofa and fridge, label destination rooms and book the lift beforehand.
03Larger family apartment
Inventory each room, including books, toys and linen. Agree on the order of bed disassembly and essential furniture placement at the new home. In a larger family flat, linen, toys, dishes and storage can rival the furniture for volume. Inventory each room and mark essentials such as beds and first-night kitchen items for early unloading.
