We had heard horror stories about Costa del Sol moves. None of them happened to us. Survey on a Tuesday, written quote on the Friday, NIE applied through the London consulate two months earlier, lorry loaded ten days later, goods in our Estepona flat the following week. Customs cleared at La Jonquera. The destination team had briefed our urbanización porteria before move day.

The Edinburgh-to-Bilbao route was the part we worried about most — long ground leg, tenement-stair work, then a Basque destination. The crew handled the close access without fuss. The Portsmouth-Bilbao ferry crossing was overnight and smooth, and the team was waiting at the Casco Viejo end exactly when promised. Couldn't have asked for better.

We had a complicated move — listed-building access in Hampstead, then a Sotogrande gated villa with strict 24-hour service-vehicle access notice. Both ends needed careful planning. The team measured everything at survey, booked the Sotogrande security clearance well ahead, and the move ran on schedule. The Spanish-speaking coordinator briefed our porteria before move day.

Corporate-relocation move from Manchester to Madrid for a banking role. The team handled the HR-side paperwork, the customs side, and the timing around my residencia validation in Madrid. Same crew loaded in Manchester and met me at the Salamanca district flat. Detailed inventory, careful packing, no breakage.
