Removals from Kensington to Spain
Spain draws a particular kind of Kensington move — a family taking a considered collection to a Madrid apartment, a couple furnishing a Marbella house, an art-filled home relocating to Barcelona. The distance is greater than France, which makes careful packing and a single, well-planned vehicle matter all the more.
We load in Kensington, cross the Channel, and drive the length of France to the Spanish border, landing your things in Madrid, Barcelona or along the coast without the art and antiques ever changing hands.
Care over a long crossing
A move to Spain is a long haul, and heat is a factor on the southern legs. We crate and wrap art, antiques and delicate finishes to travel well, load in a considered order, and keep the whole consignment on one vehicle so there is no depot re-handling between London and the Costa. Valuable pieces are condition-noted before they leave the Kensington house.
For the Balearics, the road move connects to the ferry links; we plan that leg in advance so nothing waits unnecessarily on a quay.
- Bespoke crating and climate-aware wrapping for the long crossing
- Condition-noting of art and antiques before packing
- One vehicle, W8/SW7/W14 to the Spanish address
- Balearics handled via the ferry links, planned ahead
The route and post-Brexit customs
From Kensington it is the A4/M4 and M25 to the Channel, across to France, and down the length of it to the Spanish border. A move to Spain is now an EU import. For a genuine relocation, used household effects generally enter without import duty and VAT under the transfer-of-residence provisions, against a detailed inventory — with your NIE and the destination paperwork your side to arrange.
Art and antiques carry their own documentation, which we handle discreetly. A holiday home is declared differently from a primary move; we ask so it is done correctly.
We collect across the Royal Borough — Kensington (W8), South Kensington (SW7) and West Kensington (W14) — and pack your Spain move at the door, with the art and antiques crated first. See our fine-art and antique handling for how the valuable pieces travel.
Kensington to Spain, answered
How do you move a home from Kensington to Spain?
By road and ferry on one vehicle — out of W8/SW7/W14 via the A4/M4 and M25, across the Channel, down through France and over the Spanish border. Art and antiques are crated and condition-noted before they leave the house.
Will I pay Spanish import duty?
For a genuine relocation, used household effects generally enter without import duty and VAT under the EU transfer-of-residence provisions, against a proper inventory. A holiday home is treated differently — we clarify which applies.
Can you deliver to the Balearics?
Yes — the road move connects to the ferry links to Mallorca, Menorca and Ibiza. We plan that leg in advance so the crossing is smooth and your things aren’t left waiting.
Do you cover Marbella and the Costa del Sol?
We do, along with Madrid, Barcelona and the Costa Blanca. The destination sets the routing once we are over the border.
