Removalists Linley Point.
131 homes. One road in. Every move needs its own plan.
Linley Point is one of Sydney's smallest suburbs by any measure that matters. The 2021 census counted 382 residents across approximately 131 dwellings on a small peninsula almost entirely surrounded by the Lane Cove River. Access by road comes from two directions only: from the south over Figtree Bridge from the Hunters Hill side, and from the north via Burns Bay Road. The suburb sits between the Hunters Hill and Woolwich peninsula to the south and Lane Cove to the north, and its elevation gives most of its homes views of the Lane Cove River, the Sydney CBD, and - from the better positions - the Sydney Harbour Bridge itself.
Linley House on View Street and Rockcliffe on Lower Brooks Street are both heritage-listed, reflecting the suburb's connection to an era of significant architectural investment in the area. The suburb has undergone meaningful redevelopment in recent years - older homes replaced by contemporary architect-designed residences that take full advantage of the river views and elevated positions. A relatively large park on The Crescent serves as the community gathering point for what is, in all honesty, a community small enough that most residents know each other.
Moving in and out of Linley Point is a specific exercise that rewards pre-planning. The two road access points - Figtree Bridge and Burns Bay Road - mean approach and departure routes for a truck need to be determined before the day. The elevated properties have driveways that vary significantly in their accessibility. And the heritage homes require the care that any period property deserves.
382 residents on a peninsula that effectively has one road - we've worked here enough times to know that what looks like a straightforward job on the map is not always one on the ground.
One of Sydney's smallest suburbs - and every property needs its own access plan
The single road network of Linley Point means that truck access is determined by the specific address within the suburb. Properties accessed from the Burns Bay Road northern entry have a different approach than those best accessed via Figtree Bridge from the south. Billy determines the correct approach during quoting and confirms it before moving day - there is no room for improvisation when a loaded truck is at the end of a narrow peninsular road with nowhere straightforward to turn.
For the heritage-listed properties on View Street and Lower Brooks Street, the care considerations are straightforward: original features protected, floors covered, doorframes measured, nothing rushed because the load is moving faster than the access allows. These homes are irreplaceable and are treated accordingly.
For the more recently developed architect-designed homes on the elevated blocks - the properties that have the river and Bridge views that justify Linley Point's property values - the access specifics vary property by property. Some have driveways that work well for a truck. Others have steep or narrow approaches that require the truck to position on the street and items to be carried further. Billy assesses this during quoting on every Linley Point property.

Two locals, not a call centre.
When you book a Linley Point move, Billy or Jet runs it personally - not a call centre handing you off to whoever's free. They know Linley Point's narrow peninsular access well enough to plan the truck position and the day before it starts, not figure it out on the morning. On bigger jobs they bring in their own trusted, experienced team, but Billy or Jet is always on site - sometimes both of them. Either way, there's always a named person from The Movers Company accountable for your move. Every item is wrapped and carried properly, and your home - doorframes, walls, floors, at both ends - is protected the whole way through. Fully insured by QBE. No deposit, no cancellation fees.
