Essential checklist for your smooth move
We have put together a comprehensive checklist for you so that you don't forget anything important during your move.

You can use it as a guide to ensure that you don't miss any important details and that your move goes smoothly. With our checklist, you are well prepared and can look forward to your move with confidence!
Planning and preparation
A successful move begins with careful planning and preparation. Take enough time to think through and organize all the important steps. Set a suitable moving date that allows enough lead time. Consider whether you want to hire a moving service or ask friends and family for help. Get enough moving boxes, packing materials and labels early on to sort your items properly. Create a checklist so you don't forget any important tasks. Also remember to take care of re-registration and address changes. The better you prepare, the smoother your move will go. With careful planning, you lay the foundation for a stress-free start in your new home.
Packaging and labelling
Packing and labeling your moving goods is an important step to keep track of everything. Sort your items carefully and get rid of things you no longer need. Pack your moving boxes systematically and remember that heavy items should be placed at the bottom and light items at the top. Use enough padding material to protect fragile items. Don't forget to label each box clearly, ideally with information about the room and contents. This will save you a lot of time and effort when unpacking later. With a well-organized packing and labeling system, you can keep track of everything and manage the move stress-free.
moving day
Moving day is finally here! We have some tips for you to make sure everything goes smoothly. Coordinate with your moving helpers in good time and make sure that everyone is on site on time. Make sure that the transport vehicle is ready in time or that the moving company can arrive. Before you set off, check all the rooms again and make sure that everything that needs to be taken is packed. During the transport, maintain communication with your helpers and assign them the right tasks. Once you arrive at the new apartment, start unloading and placing the furniture according to your previous plan. Moving day can be hectic, but with good organization and a clear schedule, you can master it successfully and look forward to your new home.
Preparing premises
Careful preparation of the premises is crucial for a smooth move. Here you can find out how to prepare your living space as best as possible. Start planning the handover of the apartment and clarify any renovation work in advance. Register electricity, gas, water and internet for your new apartment early on to ensure a seamless transition. Don't forget to dismantle furniture and pack it ready for transport. By thoroughly preparing the premises, you lay the foundation for a successful move and can then relax and look forward to setting up your new home.
Re-registration and address changes
After you have successfully moved into your new home, it is important to make the necessary changes of address and registration. Register your address with the residents' registration office in your new place of residence. Also inform your bank, insurance companies, doctors, employer and other important institutions of your new address. Don't forget to tell your friends, relatives and acquaintances your new address. Also change your address for subscriptions, online shops and other service providers. Make sure that your mail is forwarded to the correct address or redirect it accordingly. By registering and changing your address, you ensure that you can still be reached and that important documents and information are delivered correctly. Take your time for these steps to fully shape your new phase of life.
