Your best moving tips for Berlin for a smooth start

A move requires good preparation. Here are some of our proven moving tips Berlin to help you keep track:

• Plan early: Start planning as early as possible. Create a checklist and a schedule.
• Declutter: Use the move as an opportunity to get rid of unnecessary clutter. Sell, donate or dispose of things you no longer need.
• Label boxes: Clearly label each box with its contents and the room it belongs in. This makes unpacking much easier.
• Keep important documents separate: Keep important papers, such as tenancy agreements, ID and insurance documents, to hand in a separate bag.
• Inform utility companies: Remember to transfer or cancel electricity, gas, water and internet.
• Set up mail forwarding: So that your post reaches you in your new home too.
• Children and pets: Arrange care for children and pets on moving day to avoid stress.
• Food and drink on moving day: Have snacks and drinks ready for yourself and the movers.

Moving tips that apply specifically to Berlin

A move in Berlin has its own pitfalls. Many of them you only get to know once you have stood with a wardrobe on the fourth floor of a pre-war building. Here is the advice we give our customers most often.

Measure the stairwell and archway

In late-19th-century buildings, staircases are often tightly winding, and the way into the rear courtyard leads through an archway. Measure the narrowest point in the stairwell and the height of the archway before you buy a large sofa or a new wardrobe. Some things can only be transported dismantled or through the window.

Get rid of bulky waste in good time

Anything that is not coming with you can be taken to a BSR recycling centre, or you can order a bulky waste collection. Both need some lead time. If you still have to clear out a whole flat shortly before the move, you can also hand the house clearance over to us.

Do not forget the cellar, loft and bicycle storage

Cellar compartments in Berlin apartment buildings are often fuller than expected. Go through them first, not last. Bicycles, prams and garden furniture from the courtyard also belong on the list.

Warn the neighbours

A short notice in the stairwell a few days beforehand works wonders. Then nobody is surprised by open front doors, and the neighbour might even voluntarily park their car in the side street.

Sort out parking for the removal van

In many Berlin neighbourhoods (Kieze), there is hardly a free space at the roadside, let alone for a lorry. If the van is parked far away, every box becomes a walk and the move takes considerably longer. So think early about where the vehicle can stop. Is there a driveway, a courtyard or a loading zone? If not, a no-parking zone is usually the better solution. During the survey, we will tell you what makes sense at your address.

On moving day itself

Keep your mobile phone charged and within reach in case the crew has a question. Stay in the old flat until the last item has been loaded, and go through all the rooms, cupboards and the cellar once more. At the new address, it helps if you stand at the door and say which box goes where. You will find more on preparation in our moving checklist.
