A move in Mont-Vully needs to take the terrain into account: the commune spreads across the Mont Vully, between Lake Murten and Lake Neuchâtel, among vineyards and villages.

Mont-Vully: a commune of villages, vineyards and lakeshores
Mont-Vully was created in 2016 through the merger of Haut-Vully and Bas-Vully. It therefore brings together several villages and areas, spread across the heights of the Mont Vully, the vineyards and the lakeshores. For a move, this means that two addresses “in Mont-Vully” can have very different access conditions.
The housing stock is varied: village houses, villas, small apartment buildings, and sometimes old buildings in the heart of the villages. Each type of home raises its own questions: width of the stairs, whether or not there is a lift, space to park a vehicle nearby. The more precise this information is in your request, the more reliable the quotes will be.
Access, parking and floors in Mont-Vully
In a wine-growing village, streets can be narrow and the surroundings of the houses limited. A large lorry cannot always park in front of the door: depending on the location, you may need a smaller vehicle, shuttle runs, or a longer carrying distance. Mention it as soon as you make your request.
On the higher ground, the slope matters: carrying boxes or a sofa up a steep path takes more time and more hands. If the home is on an upper floor, say how many floors and whether there is a lift. For a bulky piece of furniture or access from outside, a furniture lift may be the answer, provided there is room to set it up.
Occupying the public road with a lorry, a furniture lift or a skip may require prior permission from the commune or the police. Check with the commune a few days or weeks before the date. Our guide on the parking permit for moving day explains the process.
Choosing the right time to move in Mont-Vully
In Switzerland, a tenant can terminate a lease with three months’ notice for the date set by local custom or, failing that, for the end of a quarter of the lease (art. 266c of the Swiss Code of Obligations, CO), unless the contract provides for a longer period. Customary dates vary by canton and commune: check them in your lease. Notice must be given in writing (art. 266l CO). To find out more, see our guide on terminating a lease.
Around the usual move-out dates, removal companies are in high demand: book early, especially if you are aiming for a weekend or the end of a month. As for the season, winter can make the higher ground trickier in case of snow or ice, while the summer heat tires both the crews and the people moving. A slightly flexible date makes planning easier and can help when comparing quotes.
Formalities for a move in Mont-Vully
Every move must be reported to the residents’ registration office (contrôle des habitants): departure in the old commune, arrival in the new one, within the deadline set by the canton. In many communes, the notification can be made online through eMoving (eUmzugCH). Check with the commune for the procedure that applies.
Also remember to change your address with your usual contacts, to arrange the move-out inspection (état des lieux) and to hand back the home. The rental deposit cannot exceed three months’ rent for a home (art. 257e CO) and it is paid into a blocked account in the tenant’s name. If you have to leave without observing the notice period or the date, art. 264 CO allows you to be released by putting forward a replacement tenant who is solvent and willing to take over the lease on the same terms.
If you are arriving from abroad or leaving for France, check the customs and residence permit formalities with the relevant authorities before setting the date.
Useful services for your move in Mont-Vully
Residential moving
For a flat, a village house or a villa, residential moving covers loading, transport and unloading. Specify the access and the floors so that the quote takes the carrying into account.
Furniture lift
When the staircase is narrow or a piece of furniture will not fit, a furniture lift avoids carrying everything by hand. Allow for any parking permit that may be needed.
Packing and unpacking
Crockery, glasses, bottles: in a wine-growing region, there is often plenty to protect. Packing and unpacking saves time and limits breakages.
Storage
Between two homes, or if the dates do not match, storage lets you keep your belongings for as long as necessary.
End-of-lease cleaning
To hand the home back in good condition, end-of-lease cleaning prepares the move-out inspection.
House clearance
A cellar, an attic or an outbuilding to empty before you leave: house clearance lightens the move.
