Upon learning the amount of items needing to be moved, we will provide you with a free no obligation written quotation.

Thousands of British expats currently live in Greece.
Most expats relocate to the mainland, particularly around Athens and Thessaloniki, or to one of the islands, such as Crete, Corfu or Rhodes. English is spoken in many of the places popular with expats, but it is still advisable to learn some Greek before moving. This will help you feel more settled in the country and is particularly important for those who will be working in Greece.
If you are moving to Europe from the UK, you will now be required to pass customs when moving goods through Europe.
You will now also be required to show several documents and information to avoid getting charged import duty of your personal items.
Income tax rates are progressive, so the amount you pay depends on how much you earn. Non-Greek residents will usually pay tax on any income earned in the country, so it is worth checking the current rules with the Greek tax authorities or a tax adviser before you move.
Greece also has a network of roads, ferry routes and airports, which is particularly useful for reaching the islands. Athens is the main international gateway.
If you plan to keep your UK-registered car in Greece for a long period, you may be required to register it with the Greek authorities. Check the current rules before you travel.
Areas we cover
I cannot thank Roy, Wayne and Connor enough for their help across 3 days for my move from Winchester. They were so accommodating and polite, even though it was a really hot day. They just got on with the job.
Roy, Connor, and Wayne did a great job of moving us from Wiltshire to West Sussex. Lovely guys and a good job well done.
Thank you so much to Wayne, James and Connor who helped us move house. You guys were absolutely brilliant and made our day a lot less stressful than we thought it was going to be.
Pardys moved a three piece suite from Chippenham to Christchurch. It wasn’t easy to get the suite out, but they tried everything and succeeded without a complaint. I went back to Pardys as they moved our full house 3 yrs ago.
We moved from Dorset to Cornwall. The team were friendly, professional and careful. Very pleased with the service we received.
Have now used twice. On time, careful and cheerful.
Questions
Part loads, customs, packing, MoveProtect cover and storage.
Read all FAQsThe most cost-effective option for transporting your belongings to Europe is our part-load service at R.H. Pardy.
This service helps cut costs by consolidating your items with those of other customers in a shared truck, making it ideal for those relocating to Europe with fewer items.
With part-load, you only pay for the space your belongings occupy in the truck.
Please note that delivery times may be longer when using the part-load service.
Moving to Europe has become a lot more complex since Brexit.
Relocating to another country in Europe is a complex process that will require detailed research into visa requirements.
Many European countries allow visitors to stay for up to three months without a visa.
If your move is for work purposes, it’s advisable that your employer helps you obtain the necessary work permit visa before you relocate.
Once you have everything in place, R.H. Pardy can guide you through the specifics of moving to ensure a smooth transition.
Downsizing is an excellent way to make your move easier.
Keep in mind that this will require plenty of planning well in advance.
You should consider what items you take by compiling a detailed list of essential items and those that aren’t.
When decluttering, consider what items you may wish to donate to charities.
If some items are valuable, list them for sale on marketplaces like eBay, GumTree, Shpock or Vinted.
Reduce paperwork as much as possible by digitising your documents, and avoid making any unnecessary purchases. Where possible, up-cycle or repurpose items you have no need for.

It’s important to notify your bank about your plans to relocate to Europe.
