What is particularly important in a move in later life?

In a move in later life , calm and planning matter more than speed: a schedule with breaks, carefully packed keepsakes and relatives who know what happens when. It also helps to set up the bed and armchair first, so the person moving quickly finds their bearings.

Do you also handle house clearance?

Yes, as part of the senior move we can clear the old flat if you wish and take furniture that is no longer needed for disposal, see house clearance . This then appears as an item in the fixed price, and the flat can be handed over broom-clean.

How does a senior move into a care home work?

Usually only part of the furniture goes to a care home ; ask the facility beforehand what fits in the room and when moving in is possible. We pack, transport and reassemble the selected pieces. The rest goes for disposal or into storage – both can be planned into the fixed price.

How are belongings covered in a senior move?

We are liable for damage to belongings under the German Commercial Code, under § 451e HGB at €620 per cubic metre of loading space. For antiques or a piano you can arrange additional insurance . Jewellery, cash and important documents are best taken with you; report visible damage no later than the day after delivery.

How much lead time do I need for planning?

Allow six to eight weeks – for sorting, the survey, an application to the care insurer and changes of address. Notice on the old rented flat usually takes three months (§ 573c BGB). If a care home place becomes available at short notice, ask us anyway.

Can relatives be present at the move?

Yes, relatives are always welcome in a senior move – at the survey as well as on moving day. Their presence gives many seniors a sense of security. Tell us when the family can be there; we will arrange the schedule accordingly.

Do you also offer long-distance moves for seniors?

Yes, we also plan moves to another city at a fixed price, for example when moving closer to the family. We travel from Berlin; routes can be found under long-distance moves . Planning, transport and furniture assembly at the new home are then included in the quote.

What happens to furniture that is no longer needed?

Furniture that is no longer needed can be sold, given away or disposed of. If you like, we take it for disposal as part of the senior move ; this is then included in the fixed price. Well-kept pieces are better passed on beforehand, which saves costs.

How do you handle valuable keepsakes?

Personal keepsakes are packed individually and clearly labelled so they do not disappear among the kitchen boxes. It is best to mark beforehand which pieces are especially important; take photos and documents with you yourself. That way everything important arrives safely in a senior move .

Is there special help with packing and unpacking?

Yes, if you wish we take care of packing and unpacking in a senior move . When putting things away we follow your wishes, so familiar things end up in similar places again. This too appears as an item in the fixed price.

What is included in the fixed price of a senior move?

The fixed price for a senior move lists all booked services separately: packing, carrying, transport, dismantling and reassembly, and disposal and parking restriction where needed. It applies to the surveyed scope, even if the day takes longer because of breaks. You can also use the written quote for the application to the care insurer.

FIXED PRICE AFTER A SURVEY

Senior Move

Senior moves at a fixed price: every item in writing

settled before the move

Unsere Firma is based in Berlin-Moabit (Stromstraße 21) and gives you the fixed price after a survey, ideally with the family present.

In a senior move, a fixed price is more than budget planning. It takes the pressure off a move that is demanding anyway: nobody has to watch the clock on moving day if packing the display cabinet takes longer or a break is needed in between. The basis is a survey in which we record furniture, floor, lift and wishes – ideally with relatives at the table. From this comes a quote in which packing, transport, assembly and disposal are listed separately. What comes along to the smaller flat, to assisted living or to the care home is something you decide beforehand.

You will often need the written quote for applications as well: with a recognised care level (Pflegegrad), the long-term care insurer (Pflegekasse) can subsidise a move into a flat better suited to care as a measure to improve the living environment – up to €4,180, with the application made before the move. The labour costs also reduce income tax by 20%. What we take care of in a move in later life is described under Senior move; you can get advice on 01625978461.

Fixed price after a survey

Every item listed separately in the quote

Our fixed price for a senior move is based on a survey of the moving volume, floor, lift and distance. If these details are correct on moving day, the amount stays the same – even if the move takes longer because of breaks or rain. That gives seniors and their families certainty when planning.

Quotes available individually based on workload, scheduling and the desired scope of services.

MAXIMUM CARE

What goes into the fixed price

Survey, items, a calm process

We are based in Berlin (Stromstraße 21) and plan a move in later life so that nobody is rushed: a survey beforehand, a fixed price with all booked items, and a moving day with breaks. We take care of packing, carrying, transport and reassembly; what happens to heirlooms is decided by you and your family. We are liable for your belongings under § 451e HGB at €620 per cubic metre, and additional insurance is available for valuables. Contacts and dates are fixed in advance so that the process stays clear for everyone.

Packing as an item

Crockery, books, keepsakes: the packing service appears as a separate item in the fixed price – for the whole home or just for individual rooms.

Transport and carrying

From the third floor without a lift to the ground floor: carrying and furniture transport are the basis of the fixed price and are calculated by floor and route.

Reassembly at the new home

Bed, armchair and wardrobe are back in place by the evening. In a senior move we plan the reassembly so that familiar things find their place first.

Disposal in the price

Whatever does not come along we take with us if you wish. The house clearance then appears as an item in the quote, not as a surprise later.

IN BLACK AND WHITE

What belongs in a fixed-price quote

A good quote for a senior move leaves no questions open. These six points should be in it – they help the family with planning and with applications to the care insurer and the tax office.

Every service listed separately

Packing, carrying, transport, assembly, disposal and parking restriction each as a separate item – so the family can see what the fixed price stands for.

Both addresses in detail

Floor, lift, walking distance and parking situation at the old and new addresses. Discrepancies on moving day are the most common reason for additional charges.

Before the application

With a care level, apply for the care insurer's grant with the quote before the move begins – afterwards it is usually too late.

Labour costs shown

For § 35a EStG only labour costs count: 20% of them, up to €4,000 a year. This requires an invoice and payment by bank transfer.

A schedule with breaks

A calm moving day needs time. If the schedule is in the quote, the family knows when to be there and when the furniture will be in place.

Liability

For belongings, § 451e HGB applies at €620 per cubic metre. For antiques or a piano, it is worth asking about additional insurance.

FOR SMALL LOADS

Little to move? Part load!

When only one room is moving

If only part of the household is moving, for example to a care home near the children in another city, a shared load can be cheaper than a transport of your own. The furniture travels with other consignments on the same route; in return, the delivery date has some flexibility.

STEP BY STEP

From
quote to reassembly

What the family settles when

A senior move is often connected to other moves – for example when the children are planning a private move at the same time or the new flat is in another city. For longer routes we plan long-distance moves from Berlin, also at a fixed price after a survey. Destinations with their own page can be found in the locations overview. One quote for all the family's moves makes the costs comparable.

Survey and quote

Walk through the flat with relatives, decide what comes along and have the floor plan of the new rooms to hand. After that comes the written quote for the senior move – the basis for the care insurer and the family.

Applications before the move

With a care level, apply for the grant for improving the living environment before the move begins; the care insurer decides case by case. Plan the notice on the old rented flat (three months, § 573c BGB) in good time.

Invoice and tax

After the move comes the invoice with the labour costs shown. Paid by bank transfer, 20% of them reduce income tax under § 35a EStG – up to €4,000 a year. The tax office does not accept amounts paid in cash.

FAQ

Questions about the fixed price for a senior move

Price, care home, house clearance, liability, lead time, relatives and the care insurer – answered briefly.

The cost of a senior move depends on the moving volume, floor, distance and the services booked. After a free survey you receive a fixed-price quote in which transport, packing, assembly and disposal are listed separately. Guide prices by number of rooms can be found in the price overview above.

From the survey appointment to the fixed price

Every senior move begins with a free survey before the move or by video call, in which we record the belongings, floor and wishes. You then receive a fixed-price quote listing every booked service, from packing to furniture assembly.

On moving day we pack, transport and reassemble in the new home. If you wish, we clear the old flat and take furniture for disposal, so it can be handed over broom-clean.

Tips to make the fixed price fit

Start sorting six to eight weeks ahead: whatever does not come along does not need to be packed and carried, and lowers the fixed price. Keepsakes are best packed by yourself or clearly marked so they are packed separately.

Involve relatives early and settle applications to the care insurer or the social welfare office before the move. Anyone receiving social assistance should discuss the moving costs with the office beforehand; the written quote helps with this.
