Removing the stress from international moving

We fully understand the stress that moving can cause, especially one that involves moving to a different country. We want to remove as much of this stress as possible, and our experienced team will work tirelessly to do this right from the word go.

Worldwide Moving

There are a number of different things to consider for someone moving overseas, which can be time consuming. We work with you to tailor our service to match your needs, so that you can spend your time focussing on other aspects. 

In an international move, there are considerable risks of loss and damage, some of which are clearly within our control and we take important steps to reduce these. Some risks, however, cannot be controlled, and we will therefore arrange worldwide cover against loss and damage. You will have the further benefit of knowing that all pre-payments are protected by the British Association of Removers Advanced Payment Guarantee Scheme.

Transfer of residence (TOR) for moves into the UK

If your international moves requires you to move into the UK, you need to apply for ‘Transfer of Residence’ so that you can enter without paying duty and tax on your household goods.

This process can take several weeks, especially during the busy times of the year. With this in mind, it is important to start the process as soon as you can. After approval has been granted, you will be supplied with a Unique Reference Number (URN) and this is what will need to be passed onto our team. TOR do have a helpline if you happen to become stuck in the process – 0300 322 9434 (option 3 and then option 4).
