Founder & Owner

Meet Lavish Sabherwal

House Movers Melbourne was founded by Lavish Sabherwal, a Melbourne-based removalist with years of hands-on experience in the industry. Lavish started the business after seeing too many moving jobs go wrong — trucks that arrived late, furniture damaged because nobody bothered to wrap it properly, and end-of-day bills that looked nothing like the original quote.

His answer was simple: build a moving company from the ground up around the things that actually matter. Honest pricing. Prepared crews. Genuine care for every item that comes through the door of a truck.

Lavish remains actively involved in every aspect of the business — from quoting jobs to quality-checking how trucks are packed. When you book with House Movers Melbourne, you are booking with a business where the owner actually cares about the outcome.

Our Origin

How Movers in
Melbourne Started

We threw out the standard industry shortcuts to build a service based entirely on upfront pricing and absolute reliability.

House Movers Melbourne started the same way most good businesses start — out of frustration with the way things were being done. Lavish had seen too many moving jobs go wrong. Trucks that showed up late. The furniture was damaged because nobody bothered to wrap it properly. The final bills for the customers were a surprise and the customers felt like the company had taken advantage of them on one of the most difficult days of their lives. The customers left feeling unhappy. That was not good enough. And it did not need to be that way.

So House Movers Melbourne was built around a different idea: that moving is a service people deserve to have done properly. That your furniture matters. That your time matters. That a quote should mean something. That the crew showing up at your door should be professional, prepared, and actually care about the outcome.

That idea has not changed. Every job we take on gets the same standard of care we started with.

Our Core Beliefs

What We Believe About Moving

Our reputation was built by rejecting standard moving industry shortcuts and adhering strictly to a higher standard of service.

We believe in honest pricing.

A quote is a promise. When we give you a number, that is the number. We do not add fuel levies at the end. We do not charge for stairs we knew about from the start. What we tell you it will cost is what you pay — full stop.

We believe in showing up prepared.

Nothing is worse than a moving crew that turns up and starts figuring things out in your hallway. Our team knows the job before they arrive. They have the right equipment, the right vehicle, and a clear plan. Preparation is not extra — it is the minimum.

We believe your belongings deserve respect.

We have moved enough homes to know that the stuff in your house is not just stuff. The armchair in the corner might be the one your father sat in for thirty years. We wrap things carefully because we understand what we are actually carrying.

We believe communication matters.

A move involves a lot of moving parts. We keep you informed at every stage. If something changes, we tell you. If there is a better way to approach something, we say so. You should never be left wondering what is happening.

We believe in doing the simple things well.

On time. Careful. Honest. Friendly. These are not exceptional qualities — they are the basics. But they are the basics that a lot of moving companies seem to forget. We have not forgotten them and we do not plan to.

FAQ

Frequently Asked Questions

Essential information about rates, booking rules, and preparing for your Melbourne relocation.

We use a system where we charge by the hour and the rate depends on the size of the truck and how many movers we need to get your stuff from one place to another. The clock starts when our team gets to your house and stops when we finish putting all your furniture in your place. We also add a fee to cover the time it takes to get to and from our base.
Yes, we have a minimum of 2 hours for moves on weekdays like most other moving companies in Melbourne. If you want to move on a weekend, especially on Saturdays when a lot of people are moving, we need at least 3 or 4 hours. This is because we have to make sure we have removals in Melbourne who are following all the transport rules.
The answer is yes, it does cost more. This is because our movers get paid more on weekends and we have to pass that cost on to you. If you want to save money, it is better to plan your move on a Monday to Thursday.
Our removalists in Melbourne are skilled and they can handle any kind of building but you need to tell us about it when you ask for a quote. If there are a lot of stairs or the truck cannot park close to the door, it takes us longer to get your stuff in. So we need to know about these things ahead of time so we can bring the right number of movers.
Yes, it is. We have insurance that covers your things in case something bad happens while we are loading, driving, or unloading them. If you pack your own boxes, you need to make sure you wrap fragile things carefully because our insurance does not cover damage if the boxes are not packed right.
We think it is a good idea to book us 2 to 3 weeks ahead of time. If you are moving at the end of the month or on a Friday or Saturday, you should book us 4 weeks ahead of time because those times are very busy in Melbourne.
Yes, please do. It is easy to leave clothes in the drawers, but it is not a good idea. The extra weight of items inside can hurt the furniture when we are carrying it. It is better to take everything out.
Yes, there are. We cannot move things which are dangerous and safety hazardous like gas cylinders or flammable liquids. We are not able to move pets, certain plants, or very valuable things like jewelry or important papers. You should keep those things with you in your car. Melbourne moves can be complicated, but moves with us are easy and we will take care of your Melbourne move.
