# Milan–London removals

Moving from Milan to London requires an inventory, customs documents and an access assessment. We coordinate packing and delivery for both period homes and modern developments.

## The journey from Milan to London

The road journey may include crossing the Channel by ferry or tunnel, according to the travel plan. Packing and load restraint are chosen with every handling stage in mind.

- The survey assesses furniture, volume, fragile items and any dismantling required.

- Collection and delivery dates are coordinated with the availability of both homes.

## From mews houses to residential towers

- Kensington, Chelsea and Notting Hill: check road dimensions, entrances and how close the vehicle can get.

- In mews streets, the load may need transferring to smaller vans.

- Canary Wharf and Nine Elms: agree unloading times and lift use with building management.

## Packing and inventory

Protection is chosen according to the materials, fragility and transport route. Custom crates and specialist packing are considered for artwork, glass and delicate items.

- List the belongings to be transported and identify any particularly valuable items.

- Label packages and keep the components of dismantled furniture together.

## Documents, parking and permits

When transferring residence to Great Britain, Transfer of Residence relief may be requested using ToR1. Relief is subject to eligibility requirements and HMRC approval; it is not an automatic exemption. Any parking suspensions must also be checked with the relevant borough.

## Delivery, assembly and storage between homes

Furniture dismantling, reassembly and alterations are agreed before departure, along with coordination with the contact in London.

If your new home is not ready, you can request furniture storage in Milan. The storage period, conditions and subsequent delivery are agreed before collection.

## A quote tailored to the route

Send the addresses, preferred dates and photographs or an inventory of your furniture. The quote should specify the work included and any services provided by local partners.

- Required transport, packing, dismantling and assembly.

- Any shuttle vehicles, furniture lifts, permits and storage charges.

- Applicable cover, limits, excesses and exclusions to check in the service documents.

## Before you move, let’s make things clear.

### What is ToR1?

It is the application used to request customs relief when transferring residence to the United Kingdom. Eligibility and approval depend on HMRC requirements.

### Can the survey take place by video call?

You can request an initial video assessment by providing images of your furniture and access points. Any technical details that remain unclear must be checked before confirmation.

### Can I also request furniture dismantling?

Yes, dismantling and reassembly can be agreed in the quote. Bespoke furniture or alterations require photographs, measurements and a technical assessment.

### What if my new home is not ready?

We can assess furniture storage in Milan and schedule delivery for a later date, agreeing the duration, conditions and costs.

### What affects the price of a move?

It depends on volume, transport method, access, packing, assembly and additional services. The quotation follows an assessment of your specific move.
