How early should I book my end-of-month moving date?

We recommend requesting the moving date six to eight weeks in advance – as soon as the notice and new tenancy agreement are settled. Dates, vehicles and the parking restriction can then still be planned well. Short-notice enquiries are possible, but at the end of the month they leave less choice of the exact time.

What does a move at the end of the month cost compared with other dates?

The costs depend on the volume of the move, floor, access, distance and additional services. We quote the fixed price in writing after the survey; it does not depend on whether the day is in demand. If you are flexible and move in the middle of the month, however, you will find free dates more easily.

Does your moving company also offer short-notice end-of-month dates?

We are happy to check short-notice enquiries for a move at the end of the month ; whether a date is free depends on our workload. Call us on 01625978461 – we will tell you which days are still possible and, based on the details of volume and floor, prepare a fixed-price quote.

What should I pay particular attention to with a private move at the end of the month?

For a private move at the end of the month, boxes should be packed early and parking space for the moving lorry reserved in good time. The handover of the old flat should also be well coordinated with moving into the new one. Further details can be found under private move services , where we explain the whole process in detail.

Can I plan my long-distance move for the end of the month too?

Yes, a long-distance move can also be organised for the end of the month, although planning should start a little earlier here. Longer journeys and possible stopovers require precise scheduling. More information on processes and costs can be found under long-distance moves .

What happens if my preferred date is already fully booked?

Then we look with you for a date shortly before or after, for example a day earlier if the old and new flats overlap. If the new flat is not yet available, storage can bridge the gap. The earlier you enquire, the more likely your preferred date for a move at the end of the month is still free.

Is a shared load also possible at the end of the month?

Yes, a shared load is also possible at the end of the month. Because it is combined with other consignments on the same route, a time window applies instead of a fixed day – suitable if delivery does not have to be on exactly the last day of the month. In return, it is usually cheaper than an exclusive moving date.

What are the advantages of a fixed price for a move at the end of the month?

A fixed price is set in writing after the survey; additional costs only arise for services you request later, such as extra furniture or storage. Especially at the end of the month, when the deposit, double rent and the move all come together, this lets you plan your budget clearly.

How does booking a date for a move at the end of the month work?

Booking is straightforward by phone on 01625978461 or via our contact form. After a short discussion of flat size, floor and preferred date, you receive an individual fixed-price quote. As soon as you agree, your preferred date for the end-of-month move is bindingly reserved for you.

Is my furniture adequately covered during a move at the end of the month?

For damage to your household goods we are liable under the German Commercial Code, under § 451e HGB at €620 per cubic metre of load space – regardless of the date. Additional insurance is available for valuable items. Report visible damage no later than the day after delivery, hidden damage within 14 days.

Where do you travel from for the move?

Our location is Stromstraße 21 in Berlin-Moabit. From there we handle moves in Berlin and to other cities; places with their own pages can be found under locations . Call us to check end-of-month availability for your route.

STRESS-FREE MOVING

Moving at the end of the month: securing your preferred date

Q: Why is moving at the end of the month in such demand?

Most tenancy agreements end at the end of a month and begin on the first, because under § 573c BGB tenants can only give notice to the end of a month. As a result, many moves are concentrated on a few days, and free dates at moving companies become scarce. If you want your preferred date , enquire several weeks in advance.

Why dates at the end of the month are scarce – and how to coordinate notice, handover and moving day in good time.

FROM BERLIN-MOABIT

End-of-month date

Moving at the end of the month: why your preferred date gets scarce

plan in good time

Unsere Firma is based in Berlin-Moabit (Stromstraße 21) and plans moving day to fit the end of your tenancy and the handover.

Moving at the end of the month is one of the most sought-after options, because most tenancies end at the end of a month and begin on the first. Demand for moving companies, hire vans and parking restriction signs is therefore concentrated on a few days. Tenancy law sets the rhythm: under § 573c BGB, tenants give notice no later than the third working day of a month to the end of the month after next. Anyone giving notice therefore knows their move-out date around three months in advance.

Make use of this lead time: request your preferred date as soon as the notice and the new tenancy agreement are settled, ideally six to eight weeks in advance. Check whether the old and new flats overlap by a few days – then not everything has to happen on a single day. We quote the fixed price after a survey; we are liable for your household goods under § 451e HGB at €620 per cubic metre. You can ask about available dates on 01625978461.

DATE AND HANDOVER

How we plan end-of-month dates

Working back from the handover date

We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and plan a move at the end of the month backwards: when does the old flat have to be empty and handed over, and from when is the new one available? This determines the packing day, moving day, parking restriction and furniture assembly. We quote the fixed price in writing after the survey; If the new flat is not yet available, storage bridges the gap.

Enquire early

Once the end of your tenancy is fixed, request the date – the last and first days of the month are usually the first to be fully booked.

Use the overlap

If the new tenancy starts a few days before the old one ends, the work is spread over several days – and moving day is calmer.

Middle of the month

If you are flexible, move in the middle of the month and possibly pay double rent for a few days – in return, dates are easier to get.

Bridging a gap

If the new flat is only available later, furniture and boxes go into interim storage until moving in is possible – so you do not have to postpone your move-out date.

TIMETABLE

Six dates you should know

A move at the end of the month depends on fixed dates: notice period, handover, parking restriction, registration. Enter these six dates in your calendar early so that nothing clashes.

Giving notice

No later than the third working day of a month, you give notice to the end of the month after next (§ 573c BGB) – in writing and with a signature.

Moving date

Enquire six to eight weeks in advance; for a long-distance move rather earlier, because driving time and the return journey have to be planned in.

Parking restriction

In Berlin the signs must be up at least 72 hours before the move; so submit the application to the district office (Bezirksamt) well in advance.

Handover of the old flat

Arrange the handover date with the landlord so that there is still time after moving out for cleaning and small repairs.

Keys to the new flat

Clarify from when you will get the keys to the new flat – no keys, no furniture assembly on the same day.

Registration

Register within two weeks of moving in; registration office appointments are also in demand at the beginning of the month.

FOR SMALL LOADS

Few household goods, flexible date

Save on smaller loads

For smaller volumes, a shared load is an inexpensive alternative to your own moving lorry: your household goods travel on a run that is going that way anyway. Instead of a fixed day, a time window of a few days applies, which we agree in advance.

PLANNING BACKWARDS

Notice,
handover, moving in

Thinking from the end of the tenancy

Whether a private move within the city, a long-distance move or a small shared load: at the end of the month, what counts is that notice, handover and moving in fit together. How to get the parking restriction in front of your door in time is explained in our article Applying for a parking restriction zone. Routes from Berlin can be found under long-distance moves, places with their own pages under locations.

Three months before

Send your notice by the third working day, check the new tenancy agreement, ask about handover and key dates. Once the date is fixed, request the moving date for the private move and have the volume estimated.

Two to four weeks before

Apply for the parking restriction, pack and label boxes, finish decluttering, set up mail forwarding. With a packing service and furniture assembly, the actual moving day becomes noticeably shorter.

Around the turn of the month

Move, cleaning and handover of the old flat, note the meter readings, move into the new one. If there is a gap between moving out and moving in, storage bridges the days; registration within two weeks then follows.

FAQ

Questions about moving at the end of the month

Notice period, lead time, costs, parking restriction, shared load and liability – answered briefly.

Most tenancy agreements end at the end of a month and begin on the first, because under § 573c BGB tenants can only give notice to the end of a month. As a result, many moves are concentrated on a few days, and free dates at moving companies become scarce. If you want your preferred date, enquire several weeks in advance.

How to secure your preferred end-of-month date

Because moving at the end of the month is among the most sought-after options, it is best to contact the moving company as soon as the notice and new tenancy agreement are settled. The earlier you ask, the more time slots are still free.

When enquiring, clarify the size of the flat, floor, access and the possible period. After the survey you receive a fixed-price quote; once you confirm, the date is bindingly reserved.

How to make moving day at the end of the month calmer

Good preparation is decisive for a move at the end of the month: pack in good time, label boxes by room and sort out the parking restriction zone in front of both buildings.

Transfer electricity, internet and post early, and note the meter readings on moving day. If the process has been agreed beforehand, the actual moving day usually goes much more smoothly than expected.
