Location Fit Consultation
A structured comparison of up to four German locations against your work, housing, transport and daily-life priorities.
Who this is for
This consultation suits people who know they want to move to Germany but are deciding between several plausible places. You may be comparing a higher salary in Munich with lower housing costs in Leipzig, weighing an international network in Berlin against a shorter commute in Nuremberg, or choosing where both partners can sustain a career.
It works best when you have two to four locations in mind. If your move depends on a complex immigration or tax question, we will identify the issue but refer you to a licensed immigration lawyer or tax adviser.
What you receive
- A 20-minute preparation call to clarify household needs and fixed constraints
- Review of up to four cities or regional hubs
- A 90-minute private video consultation
- Discussion of rent pressure, likely neighbourhood search radius, public transport, airport and rail access, relevant employment centres, language context, childcare or schooling where applicable, and preferred pace of life
- A written comparison brief delivered within four working days
- One 20-minute follow-up call within 14 days
The brief gives you a ranked shortlist with reasons, open questions, and practical checks to complete. It is not a promise of housing, employment, school admission or a residence permit.
How the process works
1. Send the real picture
After booking, you receive a short questionnaire. We ask about likely workplace, remote-work flexibility, gross housing budget, household members, German ability, mobility, travel patterns and the routines you want to protect. Approximate answers are fine; concealed constraints are less useful.
2. We prepare the comparison
Your adviser reviews current housing indicators, local transport, regional employers and the geography around your likely destinations. This is desk research paired with experience of German relocation decisions—not an automated city score.
3. Work through the trade-offs
During the call, we map what changes when one priority moves. A lower rent may introduce a longer regional-rail commute. A broad English-speaking job market can come with intense apartment competition. A compact university city may feel accessible while offering fewer fallback employers in one specialist field.
4. Act on a shorter list
Your written brief separates strong fits, conditional fits and places that do not justify further effort. It also suggests reconnaissance routes and questions for employers, landlords, schools or local authorities.
Preparation
Bring any job offer, office location, expected on-site days, housing ceiling and school or care requirements you already know. Share personal documents only if essential; we do not need passports, bank statements or medical records.
Scope and boundaries
The fixed fee covers one household and four locations. Additional research, neighbourhood-level searches or a second household decision are quoted separately. We provide practical location advice, not legal, financial, immigration or real-estate brokerage services.
Provider and timing
Your session is led by a Düsseldorf-based migration adviser with experience comparing German labour markets, commuting regions and settlement patterns for international households. From questionnaire return to written brief, allow seven to ten working days.
