Nedlands is one of Perth’s most prestigious heritage suburbs — lined with Federation bungalows, interwar character homes, and large established residences on leafy streets close to the University of Western Australia and the Swan River. Premium property values, heritage floor protection, and careful handling of antiques and period furniture define moves in Nedlands.

Federation and interwar heritage homes

Nedlands has one of Perth’s highest concentrations of heritage-listed residential properties. Polished jarrah floors, leadlight windows, wide verandahs, and period joinery require careful handling on every move. We bring floor runners and blankets as standard.

Premium property values

Nedlands consistently ranks in Perth’s top 5 postcodes by median house price. High-value antiques, artwork, grand pianos, and premium furniture are standard items. We assess and protect these on every booking.

UWA precinct traffic

Properties near the University of Western Australia and Crawley face semester-time traffic and event-day congestion on Stirling Highway and Hackett Drive. We plan start times around the UWA calendar.

Mature tree-lined street access

Nedlands’ leafy streets are beautiful but can restrict truck positioning. Our drivers know the suburb’s access constraints and plan parking positions in advance.

10 Tips for a Smooth Nedlands Move

After thousands of moves through Nedlands — these are the actions that make the biggest difference on move day.

1

Book 5–6 weeks ahead for Nedlands weekend moves — it’s consistently one of Perth’s most in-demand suburbs.

2

Photograph all heritage items, artwork, and antiques before packing.

3

Bring floor runners — jarrah floors in Nedlands heritage homes must be protected at every step.

4

Measure stairwells and hallways in Federation homes — internal access is often tighter than it looks from outside.

5

Use Hire A Packer for antiques, artworks, and high-value items — essential for heritage Nedlands properties.

6

Avoid UWA event days for moves near the Crawley precinct — traffic builds significantly during graduation and open days.

7

Book a 3-man team for large Nedlands family homes — it keeps the day efficient and total cost lower.

8

Disassemble large furniture the night before for homes with narrow heritage hallways.

9

Confirm access via any heritage building permits if undertaking a complex access situation.

10

Have all boxes packed and sealed before your team arrives — the single biggest way to control your final cost.
