STRESS FREE INTERNATIONAL MOVING

We understand that moving can be stressful, in particular international moving. Our experienced and empathetic teams enable us to remove as much pressure as possible, so you can enjoy the move and start a new chapter of your life.

HOME REMOVALS WORLDWIDE

We tailor our service to work for you, so you can focus on other tasks surrounding your move abroad. We will also arrange worldwide cover against loss and damage, which is obviously an important aspect of an international move. You can also relax knowing we are bonded by the British Association of Removers Advanced Payment Guarantee Scheme, meaning payments made in advance of your international relocation are protected.

TRANSFER OF RESIDENCE (ToR) FOR MOVES INTO THE UK

If you are moving to the UK, in order to obtain duty and tax free entry of your household goods, you will need to apply for ‘Transfer of Residence’. It is important to start this process as soon as you know when you will be moving, as it can take a few weeks for a decision to be made during peak times.

Once approved, you will be given a Unique Reference Number (URN), which will need to be passed onto our team. If you have any issues along the way, you can contact the TOR helpline on 0300 322 9434 (option 3 and then option 4). 

Transfer of Residence

DO NOT QUALIFY FOR ToR?

If you do not qualify for ToR, do not worry, you can still move into the UK, but you may need to pay Duty and VAT on your household belongings. The approximate cost is usually 30-40% of the second hand value of your goods.
