How to prepare your removal to Spain

Removals can be an arduous and nerve-wrecking task, especially if you are ill-prepared for the experience. That said, a removal checklist is an important aid when moving. If you are particularly looking to move to Spain, the following checklist should cover all the major bases:

Removal Checklist

i) It is best to select all the items that you don’t need and find out how you can best dispose of them for example by giving them to charity, a recycling plant and so on.

ii) Research on the most reliable and cost-effective removal companies should be done well before the set day of moving. This is so as to enable you to book in time and avoid inconveniences usually related to the availability of a company’s personnel and specialized vehicles. 

iii) Obtain packaging items such as boxes, masking tape and rope to ensure that your items are properly secured into place and don’t move about during transportation. Also label all the boxes according to the items they are set to carry. While at this, please remember that box-size should be proportionate to the items to be carried-the bulkier items should go to the bigger boxes.

iv) Set up your mail to redirect to your destination address.

v) Notify your insurance company, bank, and related institutions that you are moving.

vi) Organise for your children’s school placement in the destination country.

vii) Crosscheck and confirm removal dates with the removal firm.

viii) Check if there is anything that you have lent out that you need. It may be your favourite book, machinery and more. Also check if you have clothes at the dry cleaners.

ix) Transfer your funds to a Spanish bank, conveniently a branch or affiliate of your current bank to help speed things up. Confirm if funds have been transferred before the set date of moving.

Events to look forward to in Spain

Some of the most celebrated events in Spain include the Carnival of Santa Cruz de Tenerife, which is celebrated primarily in Santa Cruz. It features street parades and bands just like the Brazilian Carnival. The other is the Tomatina festival, which is basically one hour of street ripe-tomato-war. Dress simply and indulge! The venue is Buñol, Valencia and the event usually takes place during the last Wednesday of August. Las Fallas is another great festival. The festival is held in Costa Blanca, Valencia to commemorate St. Joseph and involves burning giant puppets, indulging in activities such as bullfights, pageants and more. These are just a few of the many exciting events in Spain.

When Does A Private Individual Need A Storage Service?

Moving house means emptying the domicile of personal belongings. If complications arise and it is not possible to move these possessions into the new abode, it will be necessary to transfer them into storage until they can be moved into the new home.

Not everybody has a van, or even a vehicle of their own, and in these circumstances removal can be an impossible undertaking. It is best, therefore, to enlist the services of a man with a van in the absence of appropriate transport for the task.

Due to other commitments getting in the way, there may not be enough time for multiple trips between old and new properties. In these circumstances using removals companies may be the only option.

Transporting items by foot is impractical and time consuming. The weight of some objects will require the combined strength of several people to lift them, with the risk of personal injury and damage to the object. Hiring a man with a van is the only sensible option for transporting heavy or cumbersome items between old and new properties.

An unsuitable vehicle lacks the necessary space for removals and may sustain damage in the process. A van has a greater capacity for carrying freight, therefore fewer trips are required. A van is more robust than an ordinary vehicle.

Moving house is an overwhelming experience. During such a stressful time, calling on removals companies can alleviate some of the pressure involved with moving. The private individual's belongings are loaded onto the van and driven away by professionals, so that the customer does not have to. Knowing that the job is in the hands of suitably equipped professionals should provide piece of mind.

Speed Removals provides Domestic Removals and storage services to those who are moving house.
