The short answer
A villa differs from a flat in size and layout: several floors, annexes, storerooms and courtyards, large pieces such as majlis sets, and an interior staircase. So this list starts by listing spaces and pieces, then covers the staircase and gates, then splits the work into stages. It focuses on organisation, where the apartment list focuses on access.
Key takeaways
- Start by listing every floor and annex, then the large pieces in each room.
- Measure the interior staircase and exits before bringing pieces down from upper floors.
- Do not forget courtyard furniture, storerooms and annexes.
- Ask whoever is moving you about the order of work and do not assume one day.

What sets a villa move apart?
In a villa, rooms of similar size can hold very different amounts of furniture, so list by pieces, not rooms. Majlis sets, large furnishings and dining tables need separate counting, and the practical route out may be a side door rather than the front one. Splitting the move into stages lets you receive the rooms you need first in the new villa: bedrooms and kitchen.
For wrapping see the furniture packing guide, and when you enquire prepare the details in the quote-information checklist.
Frequently asked questions
Can a villa be moved in one day?
It cannot be said in general; it depends on furniture volume, floors and the crew. Ask whoever is moving you about the order of work before the date.
Do I need to measure the staircase?
Yes, if there are large pieces on upper floors; measure the stair width and turns and the doors the furniture will pass.
