German term
löffelfertig
German to English
Marketing
Real Estate
UK English
Die Wohnungen werden schlüsselfertig produziert, auf Wunsch auch möbliert "löffelfertig".
Basically fully furnished and equipped, but I was trying to think of something snappier to say. "Ready to move in with only a suitcase" seems a popular translation but too cumbersome - is there something more catchy than that?
Not sure what field to put this request in.....
Thanks
Wendy

There's humour in the German, and I think that should be reflected in the English.

ready for use // ready for occupancy
I assume you've already googled for 'bezugsfertig'
Note from asker:
That is not enough, it is not just furnished and ready to move in, absolutely everything is provided, including spoons! |

for carefree occupancy
I's rewrite this to something more descriptive of the benefits...
Where 'carefree' or even 'immediate' might fit the bill...

thanks, but I don't think that tells me that absolutely everything is provided, right down to the cutlery! Somehow it needs to be one step more |

writeaway
: This would be my choice as this is a marketing text. Fully furnished says it all. maybe asker could add the word equipped. or fully furnished, including cutlery

fully furnished and equipped all the way down to the silverware!
I would just add a little something after the normal and usual "fully furnished and quipped."

ready to serve up /down to a tea/
to keep the metaphor .. and maybe even with an un-nicked copy of 'Das Löffelchen' by Albrecht Goes nestling on the coffee table. Some of us may remember from German A-level literature: das Brandopfer being his set-reading novella.
Example sentence:
nB Bereich bedeutet dies, das das gebuchte Objekte komplett ausgestattet ist, die Küche auch mit Geschirr, Teller und Besteck, also auch mit Löffel. Daher kommt der Begriff. Dazu gehört dann auch, das Handtücher und Bettwäsche vorhanden sind
You can use to a T or to a tee to mean perfectly or exactly right.

: "Serve up" to describe a house or flat? I don't think so, maybe OK for a coffee shop though

It's always an idea to 'rustle up' something original when the asker is after a 'non-cumbersome' turn of phrase.

That's how they would sell the apartment here in Canada. :-)
