10 Apartment Moving Tips Most People Forget

Houses are easier than apartments. Lifts break, stairwells are narrow, neighbours complain. Here are 10 things experienced movers wish every apartment client knew.

  1. Reserve the lift. Most Cyprus buildings have one. Tell the building manager you're moving on X day so neighbours don't fight you for it.
  2. Measure the lift opening, not just the cabin. Sofas die at the door.
  3. Protect the lift walls with cardboard or blankets โ€” many buildings will charge you for marks.
  4. Check stairwell turns. A 90ยฐ landing decides whether your wardrobe arrives in one piece or two.
  5. Book parking in advance for the van. In Limassol and Nicosia centre you may need a municipal permit.
  6. Tell your neighbours the day before. A small box of sweets prevents an hour of complaints.
  7. Disassemble beds and wardrobes in the old apartment, not the corridor. Corridors get blocked fast.
  8. Label by room AND by priority. "Kitchen โ€” first night" goes in last so it comes out first.
  9. Empty the fridge two days before and defrost the freezer. Wet boxes are the #1 hidden disaster.
  10. Walk the empty apartment before handing back keys. Check above cupboards, behind doors, on the balcony. We find phones and passports in every other move.
