Clearance: Emptying a Flat
Moving company Berlin
Emptying the flat right up to the key handover
Empty and broom-clean
A clearance often involves a lot of effort, heavy lifting and emotional baggage – especially when you need to empty a flat because a move, a household clearance or an inheritance is coming up. Our team at Beste Umzug Unternehmen takes care of the complete flat clearance for you, from going through the contents to proper disposal. We work in a structured way, keep to dates and always take your personal situation into account. This turns a stressful task into a smooth process.
At the handover, empty really means empty: furniture, lamps, curtain rails and your own fittings have to go, unless something else has been agreed with the landlord – and that includes the cellar and loft compartments. We sort every room into valuables, recyclable material and bulky waste; leftover paint from decorative repairs goes to the hazardous waste collection point. According to the Federal Court of Justice (Bundesgerichtshof), "broom-clean" means roughly cleaned, without coarse dirt. On request, we take care of that too.
When does the flat have to be empty?
Fixed price after a survey
Tell us your handover date on 01625978461. We survey the flat, calculate transparently and give you a binding fixed price; we schedule clearance day a little before the key handover, so that there is time left for the last remnants.
Quotes available individually based on workload, scheduling and the desired scope of services.
What counts when emptying a flat
Date, care, handover
When you empty a flat, the date is what counts most: by the handover to the landlord or new owners, everything has to be out, including from the cellar, loft and letterbox. Our team clears quickly and cleanly while protecting the stairwell and floors; for damage we cause, we are liable under the statutory rules. You receive a fixed price with no hidden extra costs. Furniture and household goods that are still usable are passed on where possible instead of being disposed of.

How we handle your household goods
During a clearance we often come across items of great emotional or material value. Our experts recognise valuable pieces of furniture, antiques or collectibles and advise you transparently on what to do with them.

What stays goes as a shared load
If only a few pieces of furniture or boxes remain after emptying the flat that are to go elsewhere, for example to relatives, a shared load is an option: your things travel on a lorry together with other jobs. This saves a trip of their own.
From
planning to assembly
There are many individual questions around emptying a flat: from cost calculation and hazardous waste to clearing the cellar and loft. If you are moving at the same time, you can combine the clearance with a private move. If it is about the entire household, for example after a death, a household clearance is the right framework. Whatever you take to the recycling centre yourself beforehand, we no longer have to clear. For cases outside Berlin, see long-distance moves and the overview of our locations.

Emptying a flat: questions and answers
Process of a professional clearance
The process of a clearance begins with a free on-site survey, in which we assess the scope of the work and give you a binding fixed price. We then schedule the date flexibly to suit your wishes and agree all the details, such as access to the flat or particular disposal requirements.
On the day itself, our team systematically sorts all items, takes away furniture and bulky waste and hands over the flat broom-clean. On request, we also carry out minor renovation work, so that you can re-let or sell the rooms straight away.
Costs of a flat clearance
The cost of a flat clearance depends on the size of the flat, how cluttered it is and the amount of material to be disposed of. At Beste Umzug Unternehmen you always receive a transparent fixed price that covers all services, from dismantling to disposal.
Selling or donating items of value can reduce the total cost further. This saves you real money while contributing to a sustainable circular economy.

Moving prices: the decisive criteria
Important factors are the volume, the distance (from €3.85/km), the floor and the lift. A parking restriction zone may also be necessary. For furniture assembly and a shared load we charge separately.
