In the UAE, it typically includes furniture disassembly, professional packing of all belongings, safe transport via covered trucks, reassembly of furniture at the new location, and cleanup of packing materials. It's essentially a full-service home move. ### How much does house shifting cost in Dubai? House shifting in Dubai starts from AED 799 for a studio, AED 999 for a 1-2 bedroom apartment, and AED 1,999+ for villas and larger homes. The price depends on the number of items, distance between locations, floor level, and whether you need full packing or just transport. ### How long does house shifting take? A typical studio or 1-bedroom shift takes 3-5 hours, a 2-bedroom takes 5-7 hours, and a full villa shift may take a full day. This includes packing, loading, transport, unloading, and basic setup. We always aim to complete your shift within the day so you can settle into your new home. ### Do I need to get an NOC for house shifting? In many Dubai buildings, you need a No Objection Certificate (NOC) from your building management before moving out. This is typically obtained from your landlord or property management company. SAMA Movers can advise on the process, but the NOC must be arranged by the tenant. We handle elevator booking coordination with the building. ### Can you shift my house on the same day? Yes, we offer same-day house shifting services subject to crew availability. If you need an urgent move, call us directly and we'll do our best to accommodate your timeline. For planned moves, we recommend booking 3-5 days in advance to secure your preferred slot. --- ## About SAMA Movers SAMA Movers is a licensed moving company serving Dubai, Sharjah and Ajman: villa and apartment moves, office relocation, packing, furniture moving, handyman work and storage. - Website: https://samadubaimovers.com - Phone: 054 552 0191 - Email: info@samadubaimovers.com - Address: Al Quoz Industrial Area 3, Dubai, UAE - Canonical HTML version of this page: https://samadubaimovers.com/services/house-shifting
