English speaking team
Newly arrived in the Netherlands? Every step of your Leiden move is handled in clear English, so the logistics never feel foreign.
Moving in Leiden
Leiden's Binnenstad is full of historic canal houses and monumental properties with steep staircases and limited street access, while districts like Stevenshof and Merenwijk offer roomier family homes and modern flats. A parking permit, the parkeerontheffing, is often needed to load and unload near the narrow canal streets in the centre. We assess access, stairwells, and lifts beforehand so moving day runs to plan.
If you are joining Leiden University or the LUMC as an international student or researcher, our English speaking team guides you through every step of a Dutch move with clear communication.
Areas we cover in Leiden
Everything about moving in Leiden
Do you move international students and researchers in Leiden?
Yes, Leiden University and the LUMC bring people from all over the world, and a large part of our Leiden work is helping them settle in or move on. We understand that your timing often hinges on term dates, contract start dates, or a flight landing that week, so we plan around the calendar that matters to you. Many student and researcher homes are compact upper-floor rooms in the centre with shared stairs, which we handle with care. You focus on your studies or your post, and we move the rest.
How do you handle the historic Binnenstad and its canals?
Leiden has more canals and bridges than almost any Dutch city, and the Binnenstad is a maze of narrow one-way lanes, stepped thresholds, and listed facades near landmarks like the Pieterskerk and the Burcht. Larger vans cannot always reach the door, so we choose the right vehicle and, where needed, hoist items or use a furniture lift over the canal frontage. We protect the building and arrange any parking exemption the street requires. The history stays intact and your move still runs on time.
What about Stevenshof and the family neighbourhoods?
Beyond the centre, areas like Stevenshof, Merenwijk, and Roomburg offer the family homes many internationals move into once they put down roots. These are easier for access than the Binnenstad, with driveways and wider streets, so we can often work faster and pack more efficiently. We still plan parking and protect every floor and doorway as standard. Whether you are upsizing for a growing family or relocating across town, the fixed price covers the whole job.
What it costs
A clear fixed price for your move in Leiden
Your Leiden price depends on the size of your home, the floor and stair access, and whether the Binnenstad needs a furniture lift or a parking exemption. After a quick survey, often possible by video for students arriving from abroad, you receive one clear fixed price. It is final and insured up to 30,000 euro, with no naheffing afterwards.
