Property access in The Hague

Property access for removals to The Hague

The Hague has a varied property mix. The diplomatic and embassy district in the north of the city contains large townhouses, villas and converted mansions. Access in these streets is generally straightforward for large vehicles. Modern apartment blocks near the city centre and in districts like Ypenburg and Leidschenveen have service lifts.

Some of the older residential streets near the historic centre have narrower access. A verhuislift may be needed for upper-floor properties in pre-war buildings. Your partner mover will confirm access requirements before collection day. They can also arrange any Gemeente (council) parking permits needed for the delivery address.

The Hague has direct motorway connections to Rotterdam (25km south) and Amsterdam (60km north). Large removal vehicles have good access to most parts of the city. The nearby city of Delft is also covered from a The Hague enquiry.

Before you enquire, have ready: full The Hague delivery address, floor number, lift dimensions if applicable, parking access and your UK collection postcode.

📄 Dutch customs for removals to The Hague

Dutch customs for removals to The Hague

Since January 2021, the UK is outside the EU. Your goods need Dutch customs clearance when they arrive in the Netherlands. This applies to all removals to The Hague from UK. There is a transfer-of-residence exemption that removes the duty for people moving home for good. For diplomatic removals, additional exemptions may apply. Your partner mover advises on the rules for your specific status.

What you need for Dutch customs
  • Signed inboedellijst (packing inventory) for all goods
  • UK collection address and full The Hague delivery address
  • Proof of Gemeente registration in the BRP
  • BSN (Burgerservicenummer, Dutch citizen service number)
  • Separate declaration for any vehicle being imported
The vrijstelling voor verhuisboedel removes import duty and BTW (Dutch VAT at 21%) on goods owned and used for at least six months, imported within 12 months of taking up residence. Your partner mover files the claim through the Dutch Customs AGS system with a signed inboedellijst. You can't self-file. Full guidance at douane.nl.
💰 Currency exchange: GBP to EUR for your The Hague move

Currency exchange: converting pounds to euros

The Hague uses the euro. Once you arrive, most costs will be in euros. That includes rent, utilities and your Dutch bank account. Sort your currency exchange before you move. It saves money. It saves stress too. This is especially true if you have a rental deposit to pay on arrival.

What you'll need euros for on arrival
  • Rental deposit (typically one to three months' rent in advance)
  • First month's rent before UK income transfers
  • Opening a Dutch bank account
  • Registration fee at the Gemeente
  • Day-to-day costs in your first weeks
Tips on exchanging GBP to EUR
  • Avoid exchanging at the ferry terminal or airport. Rates are poor.
  • Online services like Wise or XE offer better rates than banks.
  • Set up a euro account or multi-currency card before you travel.
  • Check the live GBP/EUR rate at XE.com before committing.
  • For large sums like a deposit, compare specialist FX providers.
Note: The GBP/EUR rate changes daily. International Removals Companies does not offer currency exchange. This guidance is for general information only. Confirm rates with your bank before committing funds.
