Frequently asked questions
How much does a move cost in Geneva?
For a local move within the canton, expect roughly CHF 600 to 1,100 for a studio, CHF 1,300 to 2,100 for a two-bedroom flat and CHF 1,800 to 2,800 for a three-bedroom flat. Floors, access and extras change the price. The fixed quote is free.
Do I pay customs duty when moving my belongings to Switzerland?
Generally not. Household goods you have used for at least six months and will keep using enter Switzerland duty-free when declared with form 18.44, an inventory and proof of your change of residence.
What is end-of-lease cleaning?
In Switzerland tenants must hand back a thoroughly cleaned flat. We clean it once it is empty and come back free of charge if the agency flags a cleaning issue at the handover inspection.
How far in advance should I book?
Three to four weeks is usually enough. For the end of a month between June and September, allow six weeks.
