2 WEEKS BEFORE MOVING

Time to pack: 2 weeks before your move

This phase is all about taking action. Pack boxes, prepare your materials and organise the move concretely – with a clear structure you always keep the overview.

Pack with structure

Pack and label boxes sensibly so everything lands in the right place quickly

Keep everything accessible

Have important documents, tools and cleaning supplies to hand at all times

Prepare without a hitch

Notify neighbours, clarify logistics and prepare moving day optimally

What you should take care of 2 weeks before

1

Start packing & organise systematically

Clear out wardrobes, the basement and the attic, sort through belongings and pack them systematically into boxes.

2

Secure important documents

Keep all documents collected in a bag or case so they are readily accessible at all times.

3

Label boxes correctly

Mark boxes on the top and sides so helpers immediately know where everything belongs.

4

Keep tools & cleaning supplies ready

Have tools, a vacuum cleaner and cleaning supplies on hand for dismantling furniture and the apartment handover.

5

Get packing supplies

Plan for enough boxes, bubble wrap, tape and protective materials to avoid any damage.

6

Notify neighbours & building management

Put up a notice and inform all relevant parties about the moving date, including lift usage arrangements.

7

Prepare the new home

Notify the building management or caretaker and clarify access and any conditions for the move-in.

8

Optional: Move handled by professionals

If you hire a moving company like Umzugs Baron, a large part of the preparation is taken care of for you.
