Moving to Europe – Relocation and Removals to France, Spain, and Portugal with MNM Removals

Relocating to France, Spain, or Portugal from the UK is an exciting yet complex process. Whether you’re moving for work, retirement, or a fresh start in the sun, international removals require careful planning, expert logistics, and professional handling. At MNM Removals, we specialise in seamless European relocations, ensuring your move is smooth, stress-free, and cost-effective.

Moving to France, Spain, or Portugal – What You Need to Know

1. The Size & Weight of Your Move Affects the Cost

When moving abroad, the volume (cubic feet/m³) and weight of your belongings significantly impact the overall cost. The more items you move, the larger the vehicle required and the higher the transportation cost. We offer:
✔ Small Moves – Suitable for students, single professionals, or those relocating with minimal furniture.
✔ Medium Moves – Ideal for couples or small families moving a two-bedroom property.
✔ Large Moves – Best for families moving a full house with furniture, appliances, and personal belongings.

If you’re unsure about the size of your move, our expert team provides a free home survey to assess your requirements and give you an accurate quote.

2. Transport Options – Road & Sea Freight

We offer two primary transport methods for European relocations:

✔ Road Transport (Most Common) – Your belongings are securely packed and transported by removal lorry via ferry or the Eurotunnel, providing a direct, efficient service.
✔ Sea Freight (For Large Shipments) – Ideal for bulkier loads. Your items are transported in shipping containers and delivered to your new address upon arrival in the destination country.

3. Routes We Take from the UK to Europe

Our removal teams travel regularly from the UK to France, Spain, and Portugal via these routes:

✔ France – We use ferry crossings from Dover to Calais, Newhaven to Dieppe, or Portsmouth to Le Havre/Caen. From there, we travel to destinations like Paris, Lyon, Marseille, Bordeaux, and the French Riviera.
✔ Spain – Our main routes include road transport via France to Madrid, Barcelona, Valencia, Alicante, and Malaga. We also offer ferry crossings from Portsmouth to Santander or Bilbao.
✔ Portugal – We travel through Spain to reach destinations like Lisbon, Porto, the Algarve, and Coimbra, or use ferry services from the UK to Spain, followed by road transport.

4. Estimated Costs for Moving from the UK to France, Spain, or Portugal

Moving costs depend on various factors, including:
✔ The size and weight of your move.
✔ The distance between your current home and new destination.
✔ The transport method (road vs. sea freight).
✔ Any additional services like storage or packing.

General Price Estimates

While each move is unique, here are some average costs:
✔ Small Move (1-bedroom flat, 250-500kg) – £1,500 – £2,500

5. Customs & Import Regulations

Since Brexit, moving to France, Spain, or Portugal requires customs clearance. Our team handles:

✔ Duties or taxes (if applicable) for certain goods.

Having the right documents ensures a smooth transition through customs, avoiding unnecessary delays.
