How it works

Your private move in five steps

A good move should feel effortless because every detail was planned first. That is why every job follows the same clear sequence.

  1. 1

    Send your request

    Enter the basics in the online request, open around the clock. Or call us Mon-Fri 8am to 6pm.

  2. 2

    Free survey

    At your home or by video call. We look closely at volume, floors, lift and the carrying route.

  3. 3

    Fixed price in writing

    You receive a written offer with one binding amount. Any extras are listed separately.

  4. 4

    Preparation

    We arrange the no-parking zone, deliver boxes and set the schedule so nothing stalls on the day.

  5. 5

    Moving day

    The team loads, secures, drives and carries everything into your new flat. By evening you have arrived.

Narrow staircase in a Berlin old building

Berlin old buildings

Fourth floor, no lift? Planned in.

Berlin is full of beautiful old buildings with narrow, winding staircases, rear courtyards and no lift. During the survey we look not only at your furniture but at the route it has to take: stair width, bends, courtyard access and door frames. That is exactly how we build a fixed price that does not wobble on the day, even when the sofa only turns the corner on the third try.

If a piece will not fit through the stairwell at all, a furniture lift brings it in through the window (239 EUR per half day). And if the new flat is smaller than the old one, our storage in Berlin takes the overflow: dry and monitored from 9 EUR per cubic metre and month.

At the end of the day

A handover, not chaos

A private move does not end for us with the last load. The furniture stands where you want it, the blankets and straps go back into the vehicle, and you walk through both flats once with the team leader. The job is only finished when everything fits.

That this care lands shows in our Google reviews: 5.0 stars across 22 ratings. We let ourselves be measured by that on every single move. Ready to plan yours? Get a quote.

FAQ

Common questions about a private move in Berlin

?How is the flat rate for my private move calculated?

It is based on the free survey, either at your home or by video call. We record the volume, the number of floors, whether there is a lift and the carrying route, then put one written price on paper. That amount stays binding as long as the scope does not change.

?What does a full move cost at Saphir?

As a guide: a 1-room flat starts from 429 EUR, 2 rooms from 619 EUR, 3 rooms from 899 EUR and 4 rooms from 1,229 EUR. We name the exact fixed price after the free survey. All amounts include VAT and travel within Berlin.

?What is included in the flat rate?

A vehicle in the right size, an experienced carrying team, blankets and straps for load securing, travel across Berlin, VAT and the statutory transport insurance. Extras such as a no-parking zone (85 EUR per address), boxes or a furniture lift are listed separately in the offer beforehand.

?Do you pack my boxes as well?

Yes, on request our pack service wraps and boxes your whole household, from crockery to wardrobe. Boxes cost 2.40 EUR to buy or 1 EUR per week to rent, and a wardrobe box is 14 EUR to rent.

?My flat is on the fourth floor with no lift. Is that a problem?

No. Berlin old buildings with narrow staircases, tight bends and rear courtyards are our everyday work. We measure the route during the survey, and if a piece will not fit through the stairwell a furniture lift takes it through the window for 239 EUR per half day.

?What happens if a piece of furniture is damaged?

Your goods are covered by the statutory removal liability, which is 620 EUR per cubic metre; we explain the details in the offer. Should anything happen despite blankets and straps, report it to the team on site or in writing shortly after, and we handle the claim.

?Do you offer service in English?

Yes. Coordination, the survey and the written offer are available in English, which makes a private move in Berlin straightforward for expats and newcomers. Just send your request online at any time or call the office Mon-Fri 8am to 6pm.
