Removals to the Costa del Sol from the UK
Removals to the Costa del Sol from the UK run on our weekly UK-Spain service, which operates around 50 weeks of the year from our depot at Dale House, Knaresborough. Malaga, Marbella, Mijas and Fuengirola are regular stops on that service.
David Dale has handled European removals since 1976. We move full households, part loads and single pieces of furniture to the Costa del Sol, with one coordinator from survey to delivery.

Removals to Malaga and the Costa del Sol: How It Works
- Survey – in person or by video call, to confirm volume, access and any specialist items
- Fixed-price quote – in writing, covering packing, transport and customs paperwork
- Packing – export wrapping for furniture and fragile items before loading
- Collection – from your UK address, booked onto the weekly departure
- Transit – across the Channel and by road through France and Spain
- Delivery – unloading and placement at your Costa del Sol address by our crew
We confirm your collection date and delivery window in writing at booking.

We own and operate a depot in Almoradi, on the Costa Blanca. For Costa del Sol moves it gives us a Spanish base on the route rather than relying on a third party:
- Storage in Spain – climate-controlled storage if your Costa del Sol property is not ready on arrival
- Part-load consolidation – shared loads are organised through our own depot
- Return moves – the same weekly service runs back to the UK
For the wider region, see our removals to South Spain page.

Part Loads to the Costa del Sol
Not every move to the Costa del Sol needs a full vehicle. If you are furnishing an apartment, moving the contents of a smaller property, or sending a few pieces ahead of you, a part load is usually the more cost-effective option.
Your belongings share space on the weekly vehicle, and you pay only for the space they occupy. Packing and handling are the same as for a full load. See our part load removals to Spain page for how it works.
Paperwork for Moving to the Costa del Sol
Household goods moving from the UK to Spain have been treated as an import since January 2021. If you are moving your main home to Spain, you can usually bring your personal belongings in free of duty and VAT under transfer of residence relief.
You will typically need:
- Certificado de Empadronamiento – proof of your new Spanish address
- NIE number – your Spanish tax identification number
- A detailed inventory – of the goods being moved
Relief is claimed from Spanish customs, not HMRC. The GOV.UK Living in Spain guide is the best starting point. We prepare the removal inventory and transport paperwork with you, but do not give legal or tax advice.
