REMOVALS TO AND FROM SPAIN
Moving to Spain? We offer weekly services to Spain from the UK! From full relocations to single items; dedicated or shared-load services.
Let Matthew James take the stress out of your move…

EUROPEAN SHARED LOAD
A part/shared load service is a cost effective way to move your goods to and from your destination. The reason this service is so cost effective is that you share the vehicle with other consignments and therefore the vehicle costs are also shared. All consignments are individually prepared, numbered, labelled and inventoried to ensure all items are correctly delivered to you. The main advantage of a part load service is that you will receive the Matthew James service of excellence at the most cost effective price.

EUROPEAN PREMIUM SERVICE
A direct service combines Matthew James’ service of excellence with the added advantage of a dedicated collection date and express delivery timescale. Handling of your effects is minimised as they remain on the same vehicle throughout. Although your delivery will be carried out in conjunction with other clients’ consignments, this means you will share the cost of the vehicle and your consignment will be prioritised for onward delivery typically within 7-10 days of collection.

EUROPEAN DEDICATED SERVICE
A dedicated service gives you the flexibility to choose your collection and delivery dates. This service means you will have exclusive use of one of our bespoke removal vehicles. This service guarantees the Matthew James service of excellence and peace of mind that your moving dates can be fixed, allowing you the convenience to make travel arrangements and plan your arrival. All delivery dates are subject to EU laws on driving time. We can confirm the timing prior to any booking.

EUROPEOver one million UK expats currently call Spain their home, with the majority of relocation occurring in three main areas: Andalucia in the South; Mallorca, the largest of the Balearic Islands; and the Valencia region on Spain’s east coast. A large British presence means English is widely spoken but it is wise to learn some Spanish for convenience and to help integration. This is especially important if you intend to work in Spain.
British citizens do not require visas to permanently move to Spain. However, within three months of arriving, you should acquire a foreign identity number known as Número de Identidad de Extranjero or NIE, as well as a Tarjeta de Residencia or residency card. You will also need to hold a valid British passport for entry to and exit from Spain.
Non-residents will pay tax on any income arising in Spain; this includes bank interest, business dividend, property income or wages. Income tax rates are similar to the UK’s and range between 24-45%. Further details can be found at expatica.com. You will also continue to receive your UK state pension providing you inform the DWP before your move. You may also be eligible for other UK benefits, of which further details can be found on the Gov.UK website.
Spain boasts an extensive network of roads and railways, and has over 91 airports, of which Madrid, Malaga, Palma, Alicante, Valencia and Barcelona are the biggest. You will need to register your vehicle with Spanish authorities if you plan on spending longer than six months of the year in Spain with your UK-registered car. More information can be found on the Direccion General de Trafico.
