Alltranz Removals runs Spain jobs from our depot at Long March Industrial Estate, Broad March, Daventry NN11 4HE. We are Road Haulage Association members, Move Assured accredited, and hold an International CPC alongside a Waste Carriers Licence. For removals to Spain that means a logistics-grade operation: we wrap, pack, load and store at our Daventry site, then work with road freight partners on the crossing to deliver to your Spanish address under one job number.
Post-Brexit customs clearance is handled as part of every Spain removal. We prepare the paperwork and work alongside a Spanish customs agent on your behalf. You deal with a person, not a job title.
Alltranz Ltd moves households from the UK to Spain from its base in Daventry, Northamptonshire. Moves can be a full load or a part load, with packing and customs paperwork handled by the same team. Belongings can be stored at the Daventry warehouse if the dates at either end do not line up.
We run dedicated road moves to Spain from our Daventry depot. The route goes via the Channel, south through France, and into Spain. Alltranz manages every step under one job number, from UK collection through to final delivery at your Spanish address, with one point of contact in our office throughout.
For the full picture of how we handle European moves, see our European Removals page. We also cover removals to France and removals to Portugal.
We are an RHA member with an International CPC and a Waste Carriers Licence. You are dealing with a family-run firm that operates its own fleet, not a broker passing your move down a chain.
Before your move, read our guide on what to do with your belongings when moving to Spain: what to ship, what to leave and how to prepare your inventory.
We have moved customers to every corner of mainland Spain and to the Balearic Islands. The most common destinations are:
Malaga, Marbella, and Fuengirola. The most established British expat region in Spain, with the largest English-speaking community and the busiest delivery routes on our European schedule.
Alicante, Torrevieja, and Benidorm. Tens of thousands of British residents in this region, with strong demand for both full and part loads year-round.
Popular with younger movers, professionals, and families relocating for work or lifestyle. City-centre deliveries need access planning, which we handle at quote stage.
The default destination for corporate and work relocations. Central enough for us to combine with deliveries further south on the same run.
Mazarron, Camposol, and the surrounding area. A growing expat community with strong demand from Midlands and Northants customers in particular.
A common issue with Spanish purchases: completion slips, the rental arrangement falls through, or you plan to spend a few weeks in temporary accommodation while you settle in. We hold your shipment in secure containerised storage at our Daventry depot for as long as you need, then dispatch when you give us the go-ahead.
Storage is in 8ft, 10ft, and 20ft shipping containers, with internal crates and racking on site. The facility is staffed and CCTV-covered. Pricing is per container per week, agreed up front at quote stage.
The Spanish Transfer of Residence exemption (Cambio de Residencia) lets you import your household items duty-free if you are permanently relocating. To qualify, you must:
Have lived in the UK for at least 12 consecutive months before the move.
Have owned the items being shipped for at least six months.
Agree not to sell or transfer the items within 12 months of arrival in Spain. This is confirmed by signing the non-cession certificate.
Without Transfer of Residence relief, Spanish import VAT is charged at 21% on the shipment value. Getting the paperwork right matters. We walk every customer through the documents at the survey stage so nothing is left to chance before the truck leaves Daventry.
You handle your own residency documentation, such as your TIE card, NIE, and padrón registration, directly with the Spanish authorities.
The Balearic Islands are an increasingly popular destination for British movers, and this page is the parent for our two dedicated island guides.
Island moves require sea freight for the final leg from mainland Spain. Alltranz arranges this end to end, so you have one point of contact for the whole job from Daventry to your front door.
Removals to Mallorca
Removals to Ibiza
If your destination is not listed above, call 01327 876007. We have run moves to inland villages, rural fincas, and city-centre flats with restricted access. The fleet runs SATNAV, trackers, and dash cams on every European job.
Spanish customs clear your belongings against the valued inventory, so the list and the load must agree. If an officer opens the lorry and finds boxes that are not listed, or listed items that are missing, clearance can stall and your Transfer of Residence relief can be questioned. That can leave the load waiting at the agent’s warehouse and add import VAT to the bill. We build the inventory from the survey, update it on packing day if you add or remove anything, and number every box so the list can be checked against the van quickly. Your proof of Spanish address, whether a rental contract, escritura or padrón, should match the address on the inventory too.
Door to door, a dedicated load usually reaches Spain three to five days after collection. Where in Spain matters: Barcelona and Catalonia are the nearest, while the Costa del Sol and Murcia are at the far end of the run. A shared load takes longer, because your goods travel with other moves heading south and the route has more drops. Other things that add time are delays at the Channel crossing, customs clearance if a document is missing, and access at the Spanish address, such as a hillside finca or a city street with loading limits. We give you a delivery window at quote stage and keep you updated throughout.
A dedicated load is a lorry for your belongings alone, travelling straight to your Spanish address. It makes sense for a full house, for a fixed key handover, or if you would rather your furniture is not loaded alongside anyone else’s.
A shared load means you pay for the space your goods take up and travel with other customers heading the same way. It suits apartments, holiday homes and smaller moves, and it costs less, but the delivery window is wider.
As a rough guide, if you are moving more than a two-bedroom home or your dates are fixed, look at a dedicated load. We recommend one or the other once we have seen the volume at the survey.
Furniture, clothes, books, kitchen equipment, electricals and garden furniture can all travel. A removal lorry cannot carry anything flammable, pressurised or perishable, so leave these out:
Empty the fuel from lawnmowers and strimmers, and clean garden tools, before packing day. Pets, cars and valuables such as cash and jewellery travel separately, and we can move a car to Spain as its own booking. If you are unsure about anything, ask at the survey.
Yes. Alltranz runs removals to Spain from our depot at Long March Industrial Estate, Broad March, Daventry NN11 4HE. We cover collections across Northamptonshire and the wider Midlands. Call 01327 876007 or use the quote form to start the process.
Transit times for dedicated loads are typically three to five days from collection at your UK address to delivery at your Spanish address. Shared-load timings depend on scheduling. We confirm the expected window at quote stage and keep you updated throughout.
No. Alltranz prepares the core customs documentation, including the valued inventory, non-cession certificate, and mandate for the Spanish customs agent. We walk you through what you need to sign at survey stage. You handle your own personal residency documents (TIE card, NIE, padrón) directly with the Spanish authorities, as those require your personal application.
Yes. Island moves require a sea freight leg from the Spanish mainland to the Balearics. We arrange this as part of the same booking, so you have one point of contact from Daventry to your door. See our dedicated pages for removals to Mallorca and removals to Ibiza.
We hold your shipment in containerised storage at our Daventry depot and dispatch when you confirm the address is ready. Storage is charged per container per week at a rate agreed at quote stage. There is no minimum term.
Both options are available. We offer full export packing by our own crews using recyclable and sustainable packaging materials, or we can pack fragile and specialist items only while you handle the rest. Packing is discussed and costed at the pre-move survey.
A dedicated load means your belongings fill the vehicle and travel direct to Spain with no other customers' goods on board. A shared load means your items are consolidated with another customer's shipment travelling the same route, which reduces cost but extends the delivery window. We advise which option suits your volume at survey stage.
Yes. Vehicle transportation is a distinct service line at Alltranz. A car can be booked alongside your household removal or as a standalone booking. Contact us with your vehicle type and dates and we will confirm the options.
