Villas in Lanzarote Moving from the UK to Live in One
So youve made the big decision and decided to leave the UK behind and go and live in a villa in Lanzarote. But how do you go about it and what things do you need to do?
The important thing first of all of course is to buy your villa in Lanzarote and sell your UK home! Once youve done that, youre ready to start your preparations for the big day. You have 2 choices concerning your house furniture, either sell it and buy new in Lanzarote, or ship it over along with your personal belongings. The option you choose will really depend on whether you want to keep your furniture or not. Personally, in most cases I think its better to sell off your furniture in the UK and buy new in Lanzarote. Lanzarote villas are not the same as UK houses and Ive seen people shipping over their furniture which just doesnt look right in their new Spanish villa. However, if you decide to ship over, use a company like T.C. Freight who will load it into a container and ship it to Lanzarote.
If you decide to sell your furniture, advertise it in the local paper, let your friends know whats for sale, and for what remains, have a garage...
