Our Richmond settlement date could still move. When should we post?

Once you have a likely date. Jobs are scheduled at least 24 hours ahead and up to 90 days out. Choose flexible dates on the form if settlement might shift, and say in the listing which days would work.

Can a Nelson house move go in more than one trip?

Describe the whole household as one job, and say in the listing if you are happy for it to go in more than one trip. Drivers read the full inventory and judge for themselves whether to bid on it.

Our Britannia Heights house is on a steep street. What should drivers know?

Count the steps from the street to the door, say which rooms are upstairs, and note where a vehicle can stop without blocking the road. A photo taken from the kerb shows the climb better than a description.

If a driver has a question about our Tahunanui place, how do they ask it?

They post a public question on your job, and your answer is visible to everyone bidding. Private messaging only opens once you accept a bid. Once you accept, the job is booked and you can message that driver about keys and parking.

What to know about Nelson

The local detail that shapes what drivers bid on a house moves job here.

Who moves house in Nelson

Nelson house moves often start with a family outgrowing an older place in The Wood and heading for a newer home in Marsden Valley or Enner Glynn, timed between school terms. Others leave town for a bigger section at Wakefield, Māpua or Motueka, taking the garden shed and the firewood with them.

Getting a whole house out

A whole house keeps a vehicle at the door for a long stretch, and on a tight hill street around Britannia Heights or The Brook that can hold up the neighbours, so say whether there is off-street room to load. At a rural section the last part may be a gravel drive with a gate.

What to put in your listing

Pick Full Home Move on the form, then walk the house room by room: bedrooms, the large furniture, whiteware, a rough box count, and whatever sits in the garage and shed. Note the floors and steps at both addresses, add photos, and say whether your date has any give.
