Spain operates Transfer of Residence (empadronamiento) relief for people relocating their main home. Goods owned for at least 12 months and imported within a year of settling in Spain are typically exempt from duty and VAT. You’ll need a signed, valued inventory, proof of your new Spanish address, and your NIE (foreigner identification number) — which you apply for at a Spanish consulate before leaving the UK.

Málaga is a port city with its own customs administration; we lodge the paperwork with the right authority before the vehicle crosses. If anything needs resolving at the border, we handle it — you’re in Spain, not stuck at a phone waiting for an answer.

UK to Málaga runs 5–9 days door to door. Price ranges: £850–£1,500 for a part-load, £1,800–£3,200 for a one to two-bed home, £3,500–£5,400 for a larger house. Access matters a lot in Málaga — the old town (Centro Histórico) has narrow streets that rule out a full-size HGV; we use a smaller transfer vehicle for the final leg into restricted areas.
