Moving in Zurich
What makes a move in Zurich special
In Zurich, the distance between the front door and the removal van often determines how long a move takes: narrow streets, blue parking zones, tram lines and older buildings without a lift. That is why we clarify access, floors and parking during the survey and, on request, arrange the no-parking zone with the responsible municipality.
Our headquarters are at Hertistrasse 29 in Wallisellen, right on the city boundary. From here we can quickly reach all city districts and the municipalities around Zurich.
After the move: deadlines in the canton of Zurich
Anyone moving to a municipality in the canton of Zurich must register within 14 days – in the city of Zurich online via eUmzug, provided your previous municipality participates. You must also report your new address for your vehicle registration and driving licence to the road traffic office within 14 days. You do not need to inform the radio and TV fee agency (Serafe) yourself; it takes the data from the residents' registration office.
- Temporary no-parking zone: we arrange the zone with the municipality, provided we are asked in good time.
- No Saturday surcharge: Same price Monday to Saturday.
- End-of-tenancy cleaning with handover guarantee: for a smooth apartment handover in Zurich.
- Quote within 24 hours: after an on-site or video survey.
