Tips you need to remember when moving to a European country

Moving to another country from the UK is not easy and a lot can go wrong. For example, what will you do if the removal van is delayed, or your precious possessions arrive damaged after the long journey?

However, with careful planning, you can ensure your move goes completely to plan.

The first thing to do to prepare for the move is to decide which possessions you don’t need in your new home. You may want to donate any in good condition to a charity shop or give them away.

A standard home contents insurance policy will probably not cover your belongings in transit to another country. Your moving company can advise you on the best insurance for your possessions, making sure that your furniture and boxes are securely loaded into the van so that they arrive safe and secure.

Create a moving file to take with you containing important documents including passports and driving licences. Back up key files on your computer to a cloud storage service.

If you are taking a dog or cat with you, they will need an animal passport and an Animal Health Certificate.

Finally, be sure to find a reliable moving service. Merseyside Movers & Storers is a Liverpool removal company that is experienced in long distance removals. We will advise you on what you need to do to comply with the customs regulations of your new country. You will need to compile a list of every item in each box and might have to pay a customs fee.
