Moving Tips
When it comes to moving in Melbourne, The Man has seen it all and learned the lessons. We’ve moved student share houses, country estates, apartments with spiral staircases and suburban dream homes. We’ve moved artists, property developers, collectors, businesses and families. Along the way, we’ve seen what makes a move go smooth, and we’ve put together this series of tips to help you plan for a painless, stress-free experience. Don't wing it - check out The Man's tips before moving day to take advantage of his 15 years of moving Melbourne. If you want additional pointers, you can give our experts a call on (03) 9417 3443, and if you have tips of your own you'd like to submit, send them through to us at theman@manwithavan.com.au
