Houses beside a dyke with steps from the street to the front door and a dyke road without a verge

In short

Zwanenburg in short

On the dyke the front door sits metres above or below the street.

Zwanenburg belongs to the municipality of Haarlemmermeer and lies against the Ringvaart canal, with Zwanenburgerdijk as its spine. For a move that is the deciding fact: beside a dyke the front door is rarely at street level. Sometimes the house stands metres higher and everything goes up steps; sometimes lower, and everything goes down, which with a wardrobe is heavier than up.

A sack truck is useless on steps that turn, and that is why the height difference weighs more here than the volume does. Two cubic metres less household matters less in such a house than a better route to the van.

Behind the dyke, around Dennenlaan, the picture is entirely different: ordinary family homes with parking at the door and a normal staircase. Within a village this size the two extremes are a five minute walk apart, which is exactly why we establish the parking spot at the survey rather than assuming it per place.

Where the van can stand

Where the van can stand in Zwanenburg

Along Zwanenburgerdijk there is no verge: the van stands on the carriageway and holds up traffic, so a slot outside rush hour and sometimes a second person directing it. In the streets behind the dyke, around Dennenlaan, it is ordinary work with parking at the door.

Amounts per type of home

Roughly what a move in Zwanenburg costs

The rates for this part of the work, VAT included.

Four types of home, with the band two published sources give for each. All amounts include VAT, without a ladder lift and without packing.
Type of home	Amount, VAT included	Where the spread comes from
Studio or small flat	€ 350 to € 750	Half a day with one or two movers. This is the one line where the two sources part company: one starts at 350 euro, the other puts the smallest self-contained move at 650.
Two or three room flat	€ 500 to € 900	Add the ladder lift as soon as the flat is above the second floor or the building lift is small. In the blocks of northern Hoofddorp that is nearly always the case.
Terraced house	€ 700 to € 1.200	The housing type most quotes in this municipality rest on. A full attic or a shed of garden furniture pushes the outcome to the top of the band.
Detached house	€ 1.200 to € 2.500	Two vans or two runs, and almost always dismantling wardrobes and beds. Above two thousand euro a survey should have happened first, not a phone call.

On a wide screen the note per row sits in the third column. In short: the low end is half a day with two movers, the high end a full day with dismantling and a second run.

What is not included

Ladder lift, packing, dismantling and reassembly, boxes and storage. They stand with their rate in the item list above, and they are why two quotes with the same total promise different things.

What the survey changes

Half an hour, free of charge, and it produces the cubic-metre list. With that figure you can check any quote, ours included, and the list is and remains your property, whoever ends up doing the move.

Questions

Questions from Zwanenburg

Question not here? Call or send a message.

Can a ladder lift stand on the dyke?

Sometimes yes, sometimes no. A lift needs level ground and about two car lengths of space, and on a dyke road without a verge that is not always available. We establish it at the survey, because this is the place where the answer is no most often.

Does the height difference really weigh that much?

Yes. Steps that turn between street and front door mean every box is carried rather than wheeled. Across sixty boxes that is an extra hour to an hour and a half, a bigger difference than one room more or less.

Do we need to ask the council about a van on the dyke?

Where a van or a lift blocks a carriageway or a pavement, an exemption may be required. We apply for it. What the council charges is not stated on this site: that could not be verified on 24 August 2026, and an invented figure is worse than none.

The fuller this form, the sharper the first band. Leave blank what you do not know: that beats a guess that has to be corrected later.

Send both addresses and the floor. Those three facts usually show whether a ladder lift is needed, and that is the largest separate item.
