Planning to Relocate to Spain?
Spain has long been a favourite destination for people moving from the UK. With its warm climate, beautiful coastline and relaxed way of life, it’s a natural choice for retirees, families and professionals alike.
Whether you’re moving to the Costa del Sol, Mallorca, the Balearic Islands or one of Spain’s major cities, we provide a complete UK–to–Spain removals service to help your move run smoothly.
With almost 47 years of experience and two generations of family involvement, Mr Shifter has carried out thousands of domestic and commercial relocations. Over 90% of our customers recommend us, and we bring that same level of care and dedication to every European move we undertake.
How We Handle Your Goods When Moving to Spain
International removals involve additional requirements compared with a standard UK move, particularly where customs, packing and documentation are concerned. To keep everything compliant and protected, we:
Provide a full packing service
Our team professionally pack your belongings and prepare a detailed box-by-box inventory. This helps prevent prohibited items being shipped and reduces the risk of delays at customs.
Wrap and seal all furniture
Furniture is wrapped in protective blankets and sealed from the moment it leaves your property until it arrives at your new home. This minimises the risk of tampering and makes it easier to confirm the condition of items at delivery.
Plan timescales and logistics in advance
Your surveyor will explain packing days, collection times, transit schedules and delivery windows so you know exactly how your move will run.
Our aim is to ensure your relocation to Spain is organised, secure and as stress-free as possible.
Preparing for Your Move to Spain
Over a million Brits are already enjoying life in Spain, with many choosing areas such as Andalucía, Mallorca and the Balearic Islands. Whether you’re relocating to a coastal resort or an inland town, planning ahead makes a big difference.
We can help you with:
- Deciding what to move, sell, donate or place into storage
- Preparing inventories and essential documents for your move
- Coordinating move dates with key collection, completion or tenancy start dates
- UK storage options if your Spanish property isn’t ready when you are
Our team is available throughout the process so you feel supported from your first enquiry right through to final delivery in Spain.
