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.
Time to pack: 2 weeks before your move
What you should take care of 2 weeks before
Start packing & organise systematically
Clear out wardrobes, the basement and the attic, sort through belongings and pack them systematically into boxes.
Secure important documents
Keep all documents collected in a bag or case so they are readily accessible at all times.
Label boxes correctly
Mark boxes on the top and sides so helpers immediately know where everything belongs.
Keep tools & cleaning supplies ready
Have tools, a vacuum cleaner and cleaning supplies on hand for dismantling furniture and the apartment handover.
Get packing supplies
Plan for enough boxes, bubble wrap, tape and protective materials to avoid any damage.
Notify neighbours & building management
Put up a notice and inform all relevant parties about the moving date, including lift usage arrangements.
Prepare the new home
Notify the building management or caretaker and clarify access and any conditions for the move-in.
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.
