One of the most often asked questions while preparing a relocation to or from Jumeirah Village Circle (JVC) is, “How long will the move take?” Having worked in the moving and relocation business in Dubai for more than 15 years, I can boldly state that there is no one-size-fits-all solution. Your house’s size, degree of preparation, moving company you pick, and even the day of the week you decide to move all affect the chronology.
In this post, I’ll provide a reasonable breakdown of how long it usually takes to move in and out of JVC, along with some tips for accelerating and smoothing the process.
3 to 7 Days Before the Move: Planning and Getting Ready
There usually is a planning period before any actual relocation starts. This may be the most crucial component of any relocation. In this step, you must:
Ask several relocation firms for bids.
- Make an advance mover reservation (particularly if you move on weekends or at month-end).
- Apply for NOCs (no object certificates) from your building management.
- Set up movement permissions from the developer (Nakheel or the relevant authorities).
Most JVC buildings require a 3–5-day lead time to release an NOC. Thus, start your preparations at least one week before the relocation.
2. Packing: One to two days, depending on the service.
Usually packing a one-bedroom flat in 4–6 hours and a two-bedroom apartment in 6–8 hours, experienced movers and packers in JVC may Depending on their size and contents, villas could take a whole day or more.
If you are packing yourself, allow yourself one to three days, especially if you have family or job obligations. Remember to segregate delicate objects and properly name boxes.
Always bring an essentials box for the first night at your new apartment—water, toiletries, basic utensils, a charger, and bedding.
Moving Day: Four to ten hours
The course of real relocation day relies on many factors:
- Size of Home Without Lift Access
- Bedroom Studio/13–5 Hours4-6 Hours
- Two-bedroom apartment, five to seven hours to eight hours here.
- 3 Apartment with Two Bedrooms7–9 Hours Eight to ten hours.
- 4+ Villa in a Bedroom Eight to twelve hours makes a whole day. Complete Day or More
If you relocate inside JVC, your relocation may be shorter, but external events such as parking problems, building access limitations, or elevator delays may hold things down.
Expert Insight: Friday and month-end dates are busy; move on those days, and you can anticipate delays. Mid-week and mid-month movements are usually faster.
One to two days of unpacking and settling in.
Unpacking starts as soon as you arrive at your new house. If you hire a full-service mover, they may assist with unpacking and even arrange furniture and appliances.
You will need at least one day to organize and settle in. While some individuals like to do this slowly over a week, the first 24 to 48 hours are vital for configuring kitchens, baths, and bedrooms.
Remember not to forget:
- Once the relocation is complete, check every device and gadget.
- Change your delivery and utility address.
- Give your former landlord or building management return keys or access cards.
5. Important Factors Affecting JVC Moving Time: Building Management Guidelines
Certain JVC buildings have tight restrictions regarding when relocation is permitted. Most let you move only between 9 AM and 6 PM; hence, your move has to meet that range.
b. Lift access and parking availability.
Anticipate delays if your building has restricted elevator access or awkward loading zones. Advance lift reservations can save you a lot of time.
b. Dimensions and Style of Home
Given outside things like garden furniture or BBQs, villas naturally require more time to pack and move than apartments.
d. Movers count
4–6 movers working professionally may do the task much quicker than 2–3 persons. Always find out from your quotation the number of crew members involved.
7. Suggestions to Accelerate Your Movement
- Clear ahead: Don’t relocate anything you no longer require.
- Early packing for books, clothing, and décor can help you.
- Get seasoned movers: Search for businesses with stellar JVC ratings.
- Ahead of time, reserve parking and elevators to minimize downtime.
- Label everything; save time when unpacking.
