ONE LIST. YOUR WHOLE MOVE.
Your move: prepared step by step
From the initial survey to moving day: work through rooms, connections, keys and equipment. Prioritise outstanding tasks. Your entries and your budget are linked to the shopping list.
What's coming up for you?
Existing entries are kept. You check quantities yourself; appliances aren't automatically multiplied per person. Deposit, rent and purchase incidental costs aren't part of this equipment budget.

The move-in checklist at a glance
These suggestions don't replace a handover report. Check condition, measurements, connections and delivery access before you order.
Before the move
- Initial survey & Takeover: Record in writing with the previous tenant or seller which furniture and appliances are staying. Check function and model number.
- Room and transport dimensions: Measure niches, doors, stairwell and lift. For appliances, allow space for connections and open doors.
- Transport, boxes & Tools: Organise a removal van or helpers, boxes, tape, labelling and furniture-assembly tools.
- Delivery & Installation: Check delivery date, floor, old appliance removal and connection charges separately from the appliance price. Only budget once.
- Internet connection: Clarify availability at the new location and switch-over date. Check the existing contract and a possible transitional solution.
Kitchen & Eating
- Fridge / freezer compartment: Clarify the recess dimensions, door hinge, ventilation gap and whether built-in or freestanding. Follow the manufacturer's transport instructions.
- Cooker / hob / oven: Check the existing kitchen and connections. Coordinate installation and electrical connection with a specialist firm.
- Dishwasher: Check installation width, front, water connection and space for the open door. Also possible without one to start with.
- Pots, pan & Kitchen knife: A suitable pot, a pan, a knife and a board are enough to start with. Check whether existing pots are hob-safe.
- Crockery, cutlery & Storage containers: Plan according to household size. Count existing sets and any containers brought along first.
- Kettle / coffee machine: Only plan for preparation you'll actually use. Consider worktop space, socket and maintenance effort.
- Air fryer: Optional: Does it solve a specific task in addition to the existing oven? Match basket size and worktop space.
- Vegetable chopper: Optional: Determine frequent cutting tasks; a good knife may be enough.
- Bin & Small kitchen items: Don't forget waste separation, washing-up liquid, sponge, tea towels and a tin opener.
Laundry, bathroom & Cleanliness
- Washing machine: Check the shared laundry room or existing appliance. Match recess dimensions, water, drain, socket and transport route.
- Drying rack & Laundry basket: Plan a drying space and ventilation option; hangers as needed.
- Tumble dryer: Optional: First check whether the existing drying space is enough. For stacking, only use a suitable combination and connector.
- Vacuum cleaner: Flooring, rugs, pet hair and storage determine requirements; check existing accessories.
- Floor mop, bucket & Cleaning products: Note floor suitability. A simple mop may be enough; compare motorised help as needed.
- Towels & Bathroom accessories: Towels, toilet paper, soap, toilet brush and a shower curtain if needed belong in the first box.
Sleeping & Living
- Bed, mattress & Bedding: Match existing dimensions. Keep screws and tools to hand; secure the first night before all extras.
- Curtains / privacy screens: Measure window and fixing points. For bedrooms, first sort out blackout and privacy.
- Cupboard, shelf & Storage space: First check the actual volume and floor space. Secure furniture appropriately to the surface.
- Table, chairs & Seating: Plan everyday use and walkways. Only order large furniture after measuring the room and doors.
- Lamps & Bulbs: Which lamps are staying? Match fitting, brightness and light colour. Have fixed connections done by a professional.
Internet, home office & Entertainment
- Router / modem: Check connection type and provider compatibility. Reuse the existing router if possible.
- LAN cable / Wi-Fi extender: Place the router centrally and test WLAN at the workspace. Only buy a mesh system or repeater once a gap is confirmed.
- Computer, monitor & Workspace: Check work-issued devices and existing connections. Plan desk, chair, lighting and video call needs together.
- TVs: Try out the existing TV first. Room light, seating, furniture width and stand determine the choice.
- TV bracket & Reception: Only if needed: check VESA size, wall structure, load capacity and cable, satellite or streaming reception.
- Projectors & Screen: Optional alongside the TV: plan darkening, lens distance, screen area, power and signal path together.
- Soundbar / speakers: Optional: First assess the existing sound. Consider connections, placement and volume in the living environment.
- Charging cable & Power strips: Count the connections needed. Note power ratings and don't daisy-chain power strips.
Handover & Household essentials
- Keys, meter readings & Documents: Document the handover, note meter readings and keep the instruction manuals for the appliances taken over.
- Smoke detector & existing safety equipment: Clarify stock and function with the responsible person; replace missing or faulty devices specifically.
- Tools, step stool & Torch: Keep a screwdriver, tape measure and a safe way to reach height close at hand. A torch belongs in the first box.
- Balcony / garden / cellar: Only if space is available: plan storage, lighting, garden tools and outdoor furniture according to actual use.
