It all started with a single question.
Why isn’t there a niche property portal for the downsizers and retiree market?
It was 2003, and as the eldest daughter & daughter-in-law, we had just started the search for accommodation options for elderly parents. It wasn’t an easy or a pleasant experience and there was very little information available online.
It got us thinking – so we started talking to other families in similar situations and found they were just as confused and frustrated as we were.
So we built Downsizing.com.au, a website designed to be easy to use - a one-stop-portal to help consumers easily navigate the fragmented and complex retirement living and aged care sector in Australia.

Why our removalists are different
Muval removalists are a new standard for quality and care.
Each furniture removals company available on our platform must pass our 7-step verification process. We also conduct regular audits and check-ups to make sure vital insurances are up-to-date, and quality standards are being upheld. Many of our removalists are also members of the Australian Furniture Removalists Association (AFRA).
When you book your removalist with Muval, you get a company that cares about going the extra mile to make sure your next move is an easy one.
It's moving, the way it should be.

Yes, it can, as long as you notify us before booking your move.
When looking at your kitchen, the industry standard is one book carton to each cupboard door.
It is preferred if you or your representative to be present at the pickup and drop off.
The packing service is not included in our standard pricing. Please check with our support team to get a quotation.
Packing and unpacking boxes for your house is not usually included by default when you book a removalist. This is a service that needs to be booked separately (you can do this through Muval) or done yourself, and is best arranged for a day or two before your removalist is scheduled to do your uplift.
In our experience, people always dramatically under estimate the time it takes to pack their house, and it's usually one of the most burdensome tasks of moving! If you're packing yourself, make sure you start early and do a couple of boxes a day. Otherwise, save yourself the hassle and book packing services through Muval. Your future self will thank you.
If your booking is a premium service, the company will be able to provide exact timing. If your booking is a shared option, then your schedule will be a window between two to seven hours on the move day.
The first thing to do once you’ve moved into your new home is to check the house. Check out Chapter 4 of our moving house guide for a detailed outline of what to do after you move.
A cubic metre is 1m x 1m x 1m. A full-sized container size is 38m3.
