Corcelles-près-Payerne, a village in the Vaud Broye
Corcelles-près-Payerne is a village in the Vaud Broye, next to Payerne. The setting is countryside and residential neighbourhoods, a long way from the steep old towns found elsewhere in the canton, on the shores of Lake Geneva or Lake Neuchâtel. Here, the plateau and farmland dominate the landscape.
As for housing, you will mostly find village houses and villas. These homes generally offer more space than a town flat: cellars, attics, garages, outbuildings and gardens are all areas to empty or fill. For a mover, this means drawing up an inventory with care: garden tools, outdoor furniture, bikes, freezer, cellar stock. Remember to mention them in your request, as they weigh as much in the volume as the living-room furniture.
Families settling in a residential neighbourhood, tenants leaving a flat for a house and people joining the region to work in Payerne therefore have varied needs, but rarely complicated ones as far as access is concerned.
Access, parking and floors in Corcelles-près-Payerne
Access in Corcelles-près-Payerne is reputed to be simple: with no dense old town or mountain road, a removal lorry can in principle get close to the door of most houses and villas. This shortens the carrying distance, and therefore the loading time. It is still worth telling your removal company about anything out of the ordinary: a narrow private track, a gate, a tight bend, a slope in the drive, a gravel yard.
Floors matter little in a detached house, but indoor staircases matter a great deal. A narrow or winding staircase, an attic or a basement cellar lengthens the work and may justify a visit from a professional before the quote. For a bulky piece of furniture or a high floor, a furniture lift can make it easier to go through the window or balcony; this is decided according to the layout of the premises.
If the lorry has to park on the public road, or if you plan to use a furniture lift or a skip, prior authorisation from the commune or the police may be needed. Check with the commune a few days, or even a few weeks, before the date. You can read our guide on the parking permit for moving day. In winter, also think of snow and ice on driveways: clear access makes the work easier and safer for everyone.
When to move to Corcelles-près-Payerne
For a rented home, the tenant can terminate the lease by giving three months’ notice for the date set by local custom or, failing that, for the end of a three-month lease period (art. 266c of the Swiss Code of Obligations, CO), unless the contract provides for longer. Customary dates vary by canton and commune: check your lease and local custom. Notice must be given in writing (art. 266l CO), and for the family home, the spouse or partner must expressly consent (art. 266m and 266n CO). Our guide to moving dates in Switzerland explains these points in detail.
The periods around these dates are generally the busiest: removal companies in the region are then in great demand, and booking early gives you a wider choice of dates. If you are flexible, a mid-week move or one outside the end of the month is often easier to organise.
The season also plays a part: on the plateau, winter can bring snow and ice, and the heat of summer makes carrying more tiring, especially for heavy furniture. Spring and autumn are often a good compromise.
If you have to leave before the end of the notice period, art. 264 CO allows you to be released by presenting a solvent replacement tenant willing to take over the lease on the same terms.
Formalities for your move to Corcelles-près-Payerne
Every move must be reported to the residents’ registration office (contrôle des habitants): a departure in the old commune, an arrival in the new one, within the period set by the canton. In many communes, the notification can be made online through eMoving (eUmzugCH); check with the commune whether this is the case. The guide on registering with the commune takes you through it step by step.
Also remember to give your new address to your employer, bank, insurers, telecoms provider and any ongoing subscriptions. For the home you are leaving, the move-out inspection (état des lieux) and the return of the keys should be prepared in advance: a thorough clean avoids disputes.
For the new lease, the rental deposit may not exceed three months’ rent for a home (art. 257e CO); it is paid into a blocked account in your name.
If you are arriving from abroad, or leaving for France, customs and residence permit formalities are added: find out early from the relevant authorities and let the removal companies know.
Useful services for moving to Corcelles-près-Payerne
Residential moving
For a house or villa, residential moving covers loading, transport and setting up. State the volume, the outbuildings (cellar, attic, garage) and the date you want in order to get an accurate quote.
Packing and unpacking
Crockery, books, fragile items: packing and unpacking save time and protect your belongings, especially when a house has many rooms to empty.
Furniture assembly and disassembly
Wardrobes, beds, cellar shelving: furniture assembly and disassembly makes it easier to get through staircases and narrow doors.
Furniture lift
If an indoor staircase is narrow or a piece of furniture will not fit, a furniture lift lets it go in or out through a window or balcony.
Storage
Between two homes, or to free up a room before a sale, storage lets you keep your belongings for as long as needed.
End-of-lease cleaning and clearance
End-of-lease cleaning prepares the move-out inspection, and house clearance helps empty a house, cellar or attic before the keys are handed over.
