Utility Setup Costs

Setting up utilities such as electricity, water, internet, and waste management can involve initial connection fees. These vary by provider but budgeting around €200–€400 is advisable.

Monthly Bills

Monthly utility bills will depend on usage and property size. Typical electricity and water costs should be estimated to avoid surprises.

Moving Expenses

Costs for hiring movers, renting a van, or purchasing packing materials can add up. Plan for these in advance, especially if moving from abroad or a long distance.

Additional Costs

Don’t forget other expenses like cleaning services, minor repairs, or new furniture, which can be part of settling into your new home.
