terrace house constraints — what you're dealing with
federation terraces are sydney's most characteristic homes — and among the most challenging to move. here's what's involved.
no lift
most federation terraces are 2–3 storeys with a single narrow staircase — everything carried by hand
narrow hallways
standard width 70–85cm — many large sofas or beds must be tilted vertically or taken through a window
limited street parking
permit parking zones in Newtown, Balmain, Glebe — council no-stop permit required for truck
tight street access
some inner west streets are too narrow for a 12t truck — smaller vehicle or double-run strategy
how minougo handles terrace constraints
during inventory, you declare your home type (terrace, staircase width, floor). the fixed price is calculated to account for the additional carry time and any hoist required. the removalist arrives knowing exactly what's involved — no surprises, no last-minute extras.
