Thr sentence structure of the English answer is confusing. Having the object as the first word in the sentence is something I'm struggling with anyway.

A closer English word order would be "if the houses are ready, we will move (to them)".
Nyumba -- houses
zikiwa -- if they are
tayari -- ready
tutahamia -- we will move to
If you remember your pronouns and tenses, looking for the word starting with those is usually a safe bet.

I'm not native, but technically, I don't think so. It would be kind of redundant though, since the -ni at the end of nyumbani indicates the location AKA "object".
