Removals from Cambridge to Spain

Cambridge to Spain is a regular route on our European schedule. Collection from any CB1-CB25 postcode; transit 5-9 days door-to-door via Eurotunnel and the French motorway network; delivery into Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante and beyond.

Spain is by far our most-booked European destination. Most of our Spain moves go to the Costa del Sol (Marbella, Estepona, Fuengirola), Alicante and the wider Costa Blanca (Javea, Moraira, Denia), Valencia and Barcelona. We also run regular trips to Madrid, Murcia and inland Andalusia.

A Costa del Sol move (Marbella, Estepona, Fuengirola, Mijas) typically lands in a villa or townhouse with reasonable vehicle access we run the route Eurotunnel, through France, over the Pyrenees at Biriatou and down the AP-7 / A-7 along the Mediterranean coast. Costa Blanca (Alicante, Javea, Moraira, Denia, Calpe) follows the same route but adds a day's drive.

Barcelona deliveries are typically apartments with restricted parking and we'll plan a shuttle vehicle in advance. Madrid is a longer inland leg and customs paperwork is occasionally checked at the central inland customs office (TIVA).

Since 1 January 2021, household goods moving from the UK to Spain require a formal customs declaration. We handle this end-to-end: valued inventory in English and Spanish, T1 transit document and the DUA (Documento Único Administrativo) at the Spanish border.

If you are becoming a Spanish resident, you can claim Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief and avoid Spanish VAT and import duties on used personal effects (typically owned for more than 6 months). You will need your padron certificate, NIE/TIE and proof of ownership we will guide you through exactly what to send.

Post-Brexit customs declarations required for personal effects; Transfer of Residence (ToR) relief possible if you are taking up residency.

Paperwork we prepare and submit as part of every Cambridge to Spain move: detailed inventory in english and spanish (valued); copy of passport / nie / tie for residents; padron certificate or rental contract at destination (if applying for tor); t1 transit document for the trailer; proof of uk ownership (older than 6 months) for tor relief.
