The building has rules, and it means them.
Darling Point is almost entirely prestige apartment buildings on a narrow peninsula with very little street. The move-in procedure — the lift, the dock, the certificate, sometimes a bond — is the job. The furniture is the straightforward part.
Moving in Darling Point.
- The main constraint
- Building procedure. Darling Point towers typically require a booked and padded service lift, an agreed dock window, a certificate of currency lodged days in advance and often a refundable damage bond.
- Who arranges what
- You book the lift and dock window with building management; they will not take it from a removalist. We provide the certificate of currency and stage the crew around whatever window you are given.
- Typical job
- Two and three-bedroom apartments with high-value contents. Usually a half to full day, decided almost entirely by the lift window.
- Street access
- The peninsula streets are narrow with almost no legal stopping. Where a building has no dock, the truck's position is agreed well before the date.
- High-value contents
- Artwork, antiques and designer furniture are routine. Pieces that warrant it are crated rather than wrapped and quoted separately.
- Timing
- Many buildings restrict moves to weekday business hours. Confirm your building's permitted days before you fix a date, because it narrows the options considerably.
Turned away at the door is a wasted day.
The most common way a Darling Point move fails has nothing to do with the removalist. A certificate has not been lodged, the lift was booked for the wrong day, or nobody checked that the building permits moves on a Saturday. The truck arrives and is turned away.
We cannot make those bookings for you — buildings will only take them from the resident or owner — but we will tell you exactly what to ask for, and we send our certificate of currency the moment you give us the contact.
- 01 We tell you exactly what your building will ask for
- 02 Certificate of currency sent as soon as you ask
- 03 Load staged before the lift window opens
- 04 Truck position agreed in advance on narrow streets
- 05 Artwork and designer pieces crated where warranted
- 06 Damage bond requirements checked beforehand
01 Can you arrange the lift booking and the bond?
No. Buildings will only take a lift booking and a bond from the resident or owner, so those stay with you. We tell you precisely what to ask for, and we provide the certificate of currency the building wants from us.
02 What is a certificate of currency?
Written proof that your removalist holds current public liability insurance. Almost every Darling Point building requires one before a removalist is allowed on site. We provide it as a matter of course — tell us who it goes to.
03 My building only allows weekday moves.
That is common here. Give us the permitted days and window and we build the job around them, including an early start where the window is tight.
04 Do you cover Point Piper and Edgecliff?
Yes, along with Double Bay, Rushcutters Bay and the rest of the Eastern Suburbs.
