How Much Time Does a Typical House Move Take? (With Examples)
One of the biggest concerns people have while relocating is: “How much time will the move actually take?” Many assume it’s just about loading and unloading, but in reality, shifting involves careful packing, transportation, and safe placement at the new home. If you don’t plan the timeline well, delays can disrupt your entire schedule.
At VTC Movers, we help families across Delhi NCR, Ghaziabad, Noida, Greater Noida, and Indirapuram estimate moving time accurately—so you can plan your day without stress.
Factors That Influence Moving Time
Not every move takes the same amount of time. The duration depends on:
House Size: Larger homes = more furniture & goods.
Distance: Local moves within Delhi NCR are quicker than long-distance intercity moves.
Volume of Goods: A minimalist 2BHK takes less time than a fully furnished one.
Accessibility: High-rise apartments without lifts or narrow lanes increase loading time.
Packing Method: Professional packing is faster & safer than DIY packing.
Extra Services: Dismantling beds, reassembling furniture, installing appliances can add hours.
Average Moving Time by House Size (Local Moves in NCR)
1BHK Apartment: 4–6 hours
2BHK Apartment: 6–8 hours
3BHK Apartment: 8–10 hours
4BHK / Villa: 10–14 hours (sometimes over 2 days if there’s bulky furniture or complex packing needs)
👉 Example: A 2BHK flat in Indirapuram with easy lift access may take 6 hours, but the same in a building without lifts could take 8+ hours.
Long-Distance Moving Timelines
When moving outside Delhi NCR, the time depends on distance, traffic, and route permits.
Delhi to Ghaziabad / Noida / Greater Noida – Same day (4–8 hours).
Delhi to Jaipur / Lucknow – 1–2 days.
Delhi to Mumbai / Pune – 2–3 days.
Delhi to Bangalore / Chennai – 4–5 days.
Breakdown of Time
Packing & Loading – 4–10 hours (depending on home size).
Transit – Distance-based (e.g., 1 day to Jaipur, 3 days to Mumbai).
Unloading & Unpacking – 3–8 hours.
