House Moving in Singapore — What You Need to Know

Whether you are moving from an HDB flat, a condominium, or a landed property, house moving in Singapore comes with its own unique challenges. From coordinating lift bookings with your Town Council or building management, to navigating narrow corridors and dealing with traffic, a successful move requires careful planning. This blog is written by the team at Hua Movers — a trusted house moving company in Singapore with over 10 years of experience.

How Much Does House Moving Cost in Singapore?

House moving rates in Singapore typically start from SGD 300 for a 1-room HDB and range up to SGD 1,000+ for a large condo or landed property move. Prices depend on the size of your home, the volume of items, distance, and whether you need additional services like packing or furniture dismantling. Always request a fixed quote — not an hourly rate — to avoid surprise charges.

HDB Moving — What's Different

Moving into or out of an HDB flat requires you to book the service lift with your Town Council at least 3 working days in advance. There are also time restrictions — most HDB estates do not allow moving activities after 10pm or before 7am. Professional movers familiar with HDB rules will coordinate this for you.

Condo Moving — Key Things to Arrange

Condominium moves require prior approval from your building management for lift access and loading bay usage. Many condos charge a refundable deposit to cover potential damage to lifts and common areas. Experienced movers will bring protective materials to wrap lift walls and door frames.

House Moving Checklist for Singapore

  • Book your mover at least 2 weeks before your moving date
  • Book the service lift with your Town Council (HDB) or management office (condo)
  • Notify SP Group and SP Utilities of your address change
  • Update your address with IRAS, CPF Board, and government agencies via LifeSG app
  • Arrange for internet and utilities to be activated at your new home
  • Pack and label all boxes clearly by room
  • Set aside essentials (chargers, toiletries, documents) in a separate bag
  • Take photos of your old home before vacating for handover purposes
  • Confirm the mover's arrival time and truck size one day before
