Portugal has quietly become one of the most popular moves out of West London — the mild winters, the coastline, the welcome and the slower everyday pace. Some are retiring to the Algarve, some are working remotely from Lisbon, some are drawn to the surf towns of the Silver Coast, and some are following friends who made the move and never looked back. Whatever is calling you, the distance is the only hard part — and that is the part we take care of.

The route from Feltham

This is our longest mainland European run, and we plan it as one continuous journey. Your belongings leave Feltham between the M3 and the M25, cross the Channel by ferry or Eurotunnel, then travel the length of France and across or around Spain before crossing the border into Portugal. From there it is on to your region and up to your door.

  • Lisbon & the Estoril coast The capital and its coastal suburbs — apartments and townhouses with tight city access we plan for.
  • The Algarve Faro, Lagos and the southern resort towns, the best-loved corner for UK households heading south.
  • Porto & the north The second city and the green, hillier country above it — a longer leg past Lisbon.
  • The Silver Coast The Atlantic stretch between Lisbon and Porto, quieter towns and a slower pace.

After Brexit

Customs and consolidation, in plain English

A move to Portugal now needs a customs declaration and a detailed, valued inventory of your belongings — and if Portugal is becoming your main home, Transfer of Residence relief may apply to your used household effects. We prepare all of it with you.

On a route this long, many households choose a part-load, sharing van space with others heading the same way to keep it economical; timing then depends partly on when that shared load fills. If you would rather have a dedicated van door-to-door, that is on the table too. We will weigh both against your load at the survey and be straight about the trade-offs.

Portugal FAQs

Moving to Portugal from the UK — your questions

What is the route from Feltham to Portugal?

Portugal is the far corner of the mainland, so it is our longest European run. Your belongings leave Feltham on the M3 or M25, cross the Channel by ferry or Eurotunnel, then travel through France and across or around Spain before crossing into Portugal and on to your region — Lisbon, the Algarve, Porto or the Silver Coast.

Which parts of Portugal do you move to?

All the main destinations. Lisbon and the Estoril coast, the Algarve around Faro and Lagos, Porto and the north, and the Silver Coast in between. Apartment, townhouse or villa, we check the access at the far end before the van leaves Feltham so delivery day runs smoothly.

How does customs work when moving to Portugal from the UK?

Since Brexit a move to Portugal needs a customs declaration and a detailed, valued inventory of everything you are taking. If Portugal is becoming your main home you may qualify for Transfer of Residence relief on your used household effects. We prepare all of it with you and explain plainly what applies — the paperwork is our job, not yours.

How long does a move to Portugal take?

As the longest mainland route it is more of a journey than a hop, but we will not quote a figure we cannot stand behind. Transit times depend on the route, customs clearance and, on a shared part-load, consolidation scheduling. Your written quote includes an estimated window for your move so you can plan the handover at both ends.
