Hi

So excited sold my uk property hopefully completion early October.

Can anyone recommend good removal Company we live 25 miles from Dover.

Not purchased property in Spain yet am rented a friends whilst we look around so i think our existing furniture will need to be stored in Uk before buying in Spain.

Also how long from when we purchase can we anticipate completion we are cash buyers.

Who knows there may be a private seller we are looking for detached 3 Bedroom 2 Bathroom property with pool located near shops bars restaurants etc (on the level - !!) Anyone know of private sellers.

Look forward to a reply

Regards

Colin & Irene

Hi ,

We’re using Premier Top Division Removals, they’re actually collecting our belongings in the morning !  They had great reviews & Emma has stayed in constant touch with us . They charge £100 per cubic metre which is half of other quotes we were given. I’ll post again when we take delivery in Spain with an update.

We’ve taken delivery of our belongings, most are now unpacked, we are very happy with the service and the price.

A friend recently had a very good deal from Howell's.

Her belongings were in storage in UK, which was expensive.

Howells collected from there and took to their storage in Rojales.

The price includes 2 months storage. If she needs longer the monthly cost is far cheaper than UK.

Good luck!

Hi,

We used a company called “ Philips” who are in Medway / Sittingbourne ...very reasonable and do part loads as well and weekly Spainish trips as the boss has a place in Almeria.

Good luck with looking and just a bit more advice....try and rent a while in your preferred area as property takes a lot longer to sell in spain then Uk and if you buy the wrong one it may take forever to shift! It’s a buyers market out there ! Enjoy Espana!
