Sending your personal belongings from Spain back to the UK will generally incur higher costs compared to a move within Spain - although we do those as well! At Indalo Transport, our pricing is determined by the list of items you wish to take with you. This list considers both the weight and size of each item.
Our pricing is calculated based on the volume and weight of the items, and how far we have to travel in the UK to deliver to you. For instance, relocating to Scotland will be more expensive than moving to the Southern Coast of England.

Key factors to keep in mind when planning your international removal
1. Inventory
When you decided to move abroad, you hopefully went through a bit of a de-clutter. Well, the process is equally important when you decide to book a removal from Spain to the UK in too. It is much too easy to buy things and then never use them. Your removal from Spain to the UK will cost less if you can move only essential items.
Therefore, it’s a good idea to sort through and think about what to move, rather than just packing up everything you have. The actual de-cluttering process can be quite liberating and can make you look at everything you own in a new light.
Questions to ask yourself about each item can include:
- Have I used this in the last 3 years?
- If the answer is no, should the item be kept and moved to the new home?
- Is it kept for sentimental reasons that still apply?
- Is it old so can I bin it or give it away to charity & buy a new one back in the UK?
Get in Touch
It’s always hard to say how long de-cluttering your house will take, so it’s always best to start as soon as possible. Once into the process you may find you quite enjoy it!
So, you’ve made a dent in what you’d like to take with you. You’ve completed your inventory. You know when it is that you’re wanting to move. Now is a great time to get in touch with Indalo Transport, as you are starting to get close to your move to Spain.
After that, it is then the time to contact us, so that we can survey your Spain to UK move. We will arrange a personal visit to assess the items. At this point you can ask any questions about the move and what's involved as well.
If you are too far away from our base in Palomares, we will carry out a video survey. This is available through a smartphone app that you can download.
Because the details for the move are unique to you based on your circumstances, the price will reflect that.
2. Packing for your move to UK
If we carry out your removal to the UK, you get all packing materials for your move free. This includes tape and a tape gun to save you time! Just book your move and we will deliver everything you need to pack for yourself.
Alternatively, we can offer a full packing service, and will, therefore, do all the packing for you. This is a more convenient and faster solution for you. Whilst more expensive, this will take away all the stress that packing normally involves. You just sit back and relax – we’ll do it all for you.
Whilst it is a more expensive option than if you wanted to pack yourself, it’s certainly a more convenient and faster solution for you. You can sit back and not have to worry about any part of the moving process at all. You can focus on what to do when your move to Spain is complete and you have started your new life.
As part of our Indalo Standard, we will export wrap all your pictures and mirrors, and our house removals service will also dismantle any beds or large table as necessary.
