Phrases for a move

Housing

The first week in a new city is usually a set of keys, a contract, and a stranger showing you a room. These are the things you need to be able to say — not colours, not a kitchen vocabulary drill. Pick the language of the country you are moving to.

Viewing a flat, asking what is included, agreeing a date.

  • Is it available? At a viewing
  • Are the bills included? Before you sign
  • When could I move in? Agreeing a date
  • How much is the deposit? Money up front
  • Can I see the flat this afternoon? Booking a look
  • Is the contract for a year? How long you stay
  • There is damp in the bathroom. A problem on the day
  • Is the flat furnished? What comes with it

Those are the English meanings — what you need to get through the situation. Open the real phrases in the language of the country you are moving to:
