Hi everybody

Have purchased a house in Villamartin for holidays. We would like to take over a bbq 2 bikes garden furniture and a large box with household goods. Does anyone know if it is worth it and if there is a cheap way of getting these items over there

If you plan to live permanently in Spain please remember you will need a Visa if you are not a EU/EEA Passport holder or already hold Spanish Residency.

Not worth bothering to take stuff over from UK to Spain..someone has to drive it over and that's a lot of money even if its yourself...Spain is a hot climate so there is plenty of outdoor furniture and bikes to buy...

if you really want to go that way look at eBay UK there is always someone driving a van to and from UK and Spain and can take a part load if you are not too bothered about timing....

As it's not a permanent move, that is you are not relocating to Spain, you may have to pay customs and VAT on the items. You do need to prove you've used it in UK for more than 12 months to get a reduction but full reduction of fees only apply if you are relocating.

Lots of vans go back and forth to UK. A good one will do a complete check of goods and fill in the correct forms to avoid hassle when coming back. This chap advertises on the sister site and gets good feedback.

There are always lots of adverts on these site selling the goods you mention at a greatly reduced price.
