Hi everyone,

We are due to move to Villamartin mid to late September after purchasing a house in El Galan, we hope to meet some fantastic new friends for our new exciting life in the sun and sometimes rain I am told ha

Hi wallace11 and welcome to the forum!

Exciting times ahead for you!  If you need any help, tips or recommendations around residency, moving personal goods, vehicle import, and anything to do with Spanish bureaucracy - especially post-Brexit (unless you're lucky enough to be Irish 😄) - then just ask.

Good luck.

Kind regards, 

Kim

Good morning Kimmy ! 
actually we’re in the process of getting quotes for moving personal effects, could you possibly recommend anyone ? We’re not bringing a lot but do need a transportation company x

Hi wallace11,

Since Brexit there seem to be far fewer "man and a van" businesses around, but the larger removals companies usually offer quotes for part-loads by the cubic metre.

We used Coles of Banbury:

Two other companies that I know receive good reviews from members are Silverdale Transport Costa Blanca:

http://silverdalecouriers.co.uk/

and Howells:

https://www.howells-removals.com/

If you don't mind sharing the location where you're moving from in the UK, members may also be able to recommend a company in your region.

Kind regards, 

Kim

Hi Kim, 

Thanks again for your very informative response, this is much appreciated, we are moving from Newcastle upon Tyne, we have a couple of local companies preparing quotes but experience of preferred movers would be also welcomed !
