Old Town setts and stair-access common — book porters. Low Emission Zone active. Post-Brexit, all inbound moves need a UK Transfer of Residence (ToR1) application submitted before goods arrive.
Costa properties often have shared community lifts. Post-Brexit UK nationals need NIE and (>90 days) a residence visa.
Every Spain consignment is sealed, numbered and photographed
Once your container is loaded, our partner crew fastens a numbered plastic customs seal, photographs it, and logs the seal number on your inventory. Customs officers at the UK port verify the same number on arrival — proof your load has been undisturbed door-to-door.
