Those who move alone must organise everything themselves. With good planning and a little support, even a solo move goes without stress. This checklist helps you.

Plan early

Start early, since you manage everything alone. Set up a timeline and spread the tasks over several weeks. That way you avoid last-minute stress and keep an overview.

Organise help

Ask friends and family early. For heavy furniture or without helpers, a moving company is worthwhile. Even a solo move is easier and safer with more people.

Tip: For small households, a professional move is often more affordable than you think – and saves your back and nerves.

Sort and pack

A move is the ideal opportunity to sort. Get rid of what you no longer need. Pack early and label the boxes. Less volume means less effort and cost.

Do not forget the formalities

Think of the change of address, registering with the municipality and the forwarding order. Cancel and reactivate subscriptions and connections in time. That way everything is settled after the move.
