What we handle for your departure

Exit audit & strategy

We review your lease, notice periods, insurance and utilities to build a clear departure plan with dates, responsibilities and risks under control.

Lease termination & deposit

Coordination with the régie / landlord, formal termination letters, support at inspection and assistance with discussions around repairs and deposit recovery.

Cleaning, repairs & handover

Organisation of professional end-of-tenancy cleaning, minor repairs and handover so the apartment is accepted according to Swiss standards.

De-registration & documents

Guidance and support for de-registration at the commune, obtaining departure attestations and closing local obligations properly.

Close utilities, telecom and insurance without missing anything.

Many expats leave Switzerland with contracts still running or badly terminated: internet subscriptions, mobile lines, electricity, insurances, parking, gyms. We help you close these in the right order, on time and with the correct documentation.

Utilities & telecom

  • • Internet, TV and mobile contracts
  • • Electricity, water, heating contracts
  • • Parking, storage and other recurring services
  • • Written confirmations and final bills tracking

Insurance exit review

With regulated partners, we review health, household, liability and car insurance to avoid double coverage abroad or gaps in protection during your transition.

Sell or transfer your car before you leave.

If you own or lease a car in Switzerland, your departure is the right moment to structure the sale, export or contract termination. We help you avoid last-minute stress and poor offers.

Car sale in Switzerland

We coordinate valuation, listing, buyer contact and paperwork so you can sell at a fair price before your departure date.

Lease / financing exit

If your car is leased or financed, we help you clarify options, costs and timelines with your provider so there are no surprises.

Export scenarios

For specific cases, we can coordinate export scenarios with specialised partners so your car leaves Switzerland in full compliance.
