Moving to the UK from Spain after the Brexit

Many expats are enquiring about moving to the UK from Spain after the Brexit. Both UK citizens as well as people from other nationalities are wondering what the possibilities are for moving.

Customs clearance for importing household goods

Eventhough Great Britain left the European Union in 2020, it is still possible to carry our removals from Spain to the UK. It will be necessary to customs clear the household goods in order to import them into the UK. Wisse Moving will take care of all the customs formalities.

In order to avoid import duties and taxes you will have to apply for a “Transfer of residence Relief”. In case you do not have a Transfer of Residence relief you would pay import duties and taxes.


How to get a quote

In order to get a quote for your move to the UK, we would have to determine the volume of your move, and your preferences. It would be important to know the exact addresses, so we can check the accesses. Furthermore, we would have to know if you would pack your own boxes, or if you want us to take care of this. Wisse Moving offers a full packing service if you prefer not to pack yourself. We can connect anytime by video call to estimate the volume of the goods, and to discuss all the possibilities.

Part-load moving service from Spain

Wisse Moving offer a part-load service between Spain and the UK. There are regular, almost weekly, transports to England. We can collect in Barcelona, Madrid, Valencia, Alicante, Málaga or any other place in Spain. The transport is often done with large trucks, so it is important to know the access situations both at collection as at delivery. In case you live in a city where a large truck cannot get to your residence, we can decide on loading with a shuttle vehicle, or the collect with smaller vans to our warehouse. It is also possible to pack and collect on the day of your choice, and store your belongings temporarily if required. We have crews and warehouses all over Spain, so we can solve almost any situation.

Packaging of boxes and protection of furniture

If required we can take care of packaging your personal items in boxes. We can also disassemble and assemble the furniture, and everything will be well protected in the move to avoid damages. If you have any particularly fragile items like large paintings, we can also prepare wooden crates or special packagings. We can assess your needs in the pre-move survey.

Transport insurance

Our teams and movers are professionals, often with many years of experience. We handle all moves with due care, and we take care of protecting the goods in order to avoid damages. However, in an international move there is always a small possibility that an accident occurs, or that there are damages. For these case we offer a transport insurance. We will inform you about the conditions and premium of transport insurance when we prepare the proposal for your move to the UK from Spain.

    We used Wisse Moving in August 2022 to pack and put our belongings in storage in Madrid for 7 months. In March 2023 we moved back to the UK. We dealt with Rene throughout this process and he was great, always available friendly and professional. … More After unpacking we realized what a wonderful job of packing they did, we had NO breakages! Thank you Rene and your team. I would definitely use them again!
