Removals from London to Spain
Spain is the long European drive, and one of the most popular moves out of London. We load anywhere in the city, cross the Channel, and run the length of France to the Spanish border — landing your things on the Costa Blanca, the Costa del Sol, or in Barcelona and Madrid without your furniture ever leaving the lorry.
Retirement and sunshine drive a lot of these moves; so do remote workers who have realised the job travels as well to Valencia as to Vauxhall. Whatever the reason, the shape is the same — pack in London, drive south, clear customs, deliver.
The route: a long drive south
From London we take the orbital and radial roads to the Channel, cross to France, and run its length — the Atlantic side towards the western Costas, or the Mediterranean side for Barcelona, Valencia and the Costa Blanca. It is a big drive, which is exactly why doing it on one vehicle with one crew matters: fewer hands on your things, fewer chances for something to go astray.
A villa-load or a full house takes a dedicated vehicle. A flat, an apartment, or a part-move shares the lorry with other Spain-bound consignments. We size it honestly to what you are actually taking.
Customs and the transfer of residence
A move to Spain is now an EU import. For a genuine relocation, used household effects can generally enter without import duty and VAT under the transfer-of-residence provisions — against a detailed inventory and the right declaration, and with your NIE and destination paperwork being your side to arrange. We prepare the inventory and export documents.
A holiday home is declared differently from a primary move, so be straight with us about which it is. Getting it right is what keeps your lorry moving rather than parked at a Spanish depot.
- Collection from any London borough
- Road-and-ferry on one vehicle to the Spanish coast
- Transfer-of-residence relief on used effects for a real relocation
- Honest steer on dedicated vehicle vs part-load
We collect in every London borough — north, south, east, west and central — and load your Spain move at the door. Need packing or storage in London first? We can hold things and drive them out when you’re ready.
London to Spain, answered
How do you move belongings from London to Spain?
By road and ferry on a single vehicle: loaded at your London address, across the Channel, down through France, and over the Spanish border to your destination. One crew, one load, the whole way.
Will I pay Spanish import duty?
For a genuine relocation, used household effects generally enter without import duty and VAT under the EU transfer-of-residence provisions, against a proper inventory. A holiday home is treated differently — tell us which yours is.
Do you cover the inland campo, not just the coast?
Yes. The Costa Blanca and Costa del Sol are the busiest routes, but we deliver to Valencia, Barcelona, Madrid and the inland campo too. Rural addresses can mean a smaller vehicle for the final track — tell us about access and we plan for it.
Can you store my things if the Spanish place isn’t ready?
Yes — we can hold your belongings in storage in London and ship them out when the property is ready, rather than you rushing the move to hit a completion date. Ask us when we quote.
