Hilversum has very different homes to the Dutch canal cities. They are wider and bigger. Het Gooi is an affluent area with large detached villas, wide tree-lined streets and generous driveways. Road access for removal lorries is generally excellent. A verhuislift is not normally needed. Properties in the older residential neighbourhoods around the Gooiland and Trompenberg areas have wide staircases and good internal access.
Modern apartment buildings closer to the town centre and the media quarter near the Mediapark have standard lift access. Some buildings in the older binnenstad have narrower staircases, but the scale of Hilversum's houses are bigger. They are wider. A large van fits on the road. Your partner mover checks access at survey and confirms whether any special arrangements are needed.
The Mediapark is a work campus. It is not a home area. Properties in Hilversum-Noord, Hilversum-Oost and Laren all have good access. House removal vehicles can reach them with ease. No special permits are normally needed.
