Why condo lift booking matters for moving
Condo moving is different from HDB moving because many condominiums have management rules for service lift,
loading bay, deposits, moving hours and mover access. If the lift is not booked, movers may not be allowed to start.
Tip Top Movers provides condo movers Singapore
support for apartment, condo and private property moves. Moving starts from S$188 for half lorry load
and S$300 for full 15ft lorry load, depending on items, access and manpower.
Best tip: confirm the condo move-in or move-out rules before booking movers. Send the approved lift timing to your mover early.
