Moving cost by property type
What it costs to move a 5-room HDB in Singapore
S$700 – S$1600
Typically 14ft, 3 to 4 movers, 5 to 7 hours. Market rates, not our prices — you pay the mover you choose.
What changes at this size
Moving a 5-room hdb
A 5-room usually still fits one 14ft lorry, but it is the point at which crew size starts to matter more than vehicle size. Three movers will do it; four will finish inside the day. These flats commonly carry a full storeroom and a household that has been in place long enough to accumulate, which is why 5-room moves are the most frequent candidates for combining disposal into the same trip. Ask for the quote with and without disposal before you decide.
Floor area is typically 110 to 123 sqm, though what decides the lorry size is how much you own rather than the floor plan. A lightly furnished unit at the top of that range can need less space than a full one at the bottom.
The numbers
5-room HDB moving prices
| Job | Typical range | Notes |
|---|---|---|
| 5-room flat | S$700 – S$1600 | Typically a 14ft lorry with 3 to 4 movers. |
All prices shown are in Singapore dollars and exclude GST. Whether GST is charged on your move depends on whether the matched vendor is GST-registered; this is stated on the quote you receive.
What moves this number
Access, not floor area. Whether the lift takes a three-seater upright, how far the lorry can park from the lift lobby, how many flights are involved if it does not fit, and whether you are moving at month end or before Chinese New Year. Tell a vendor those four things and the quote you get will be the quote you pay.
