Removalists in North Ward
Most homes in North Ward are flats or apartments (57.2%) and most are rented (57.7%). Before booking a removalist, find out about lift bookings, truck parking and any body corporate rules on moving hours, and give the removalist the floor number and lift size with your quote request.
Mostly units, mostly rented
North Ward is about 1.4 km north-west of Townsville City. Flats and apartments are the most common kind of home here, unlike the City of Townsville as a whole, where they are 7.0% of dwellings. In the 2021 Census, 57.2% of occupied dwellings were flats or apartments, 18.9% were semi-detached houses or townhouses, and 23.5% were separate houses. 57.7% of homes were rented.
Moving in or out of a unit block
Unit moves are mostly about access. Before you book, find out:
- whether the building has a lift, and whether it must be booked or padded for moves
- where the truck can stop, and for how long
- the distance from the truck to your door, and any stairs on the way
- whether the body corporate by-laws set hours for moving furniture
Give the removalist the floor number and the lift size when you ask for a quote. A narrow lift or stair can mean taking furniture apart or carrying it by hand.
Short moves, small loads
Many North Ward moves are one or two bedrooms, or just a few large items. Many removalists take on small loads, often with a minimum charge rather than a straight hourly rate. Ask about the minimum when you get the quote.
Leaving a rental
With most homes rented, a bond clean is a common last step. Book it for after the move, and compare the finished unit against your entry condition report.
Weather
The Bureau of Meteorology's averages for Townsville Aero show February is the wettest month, at 312.9 mm. Wet weather makes carrying furniture between a building and the street slower, so allow extra time in summer.
