Moving to Portugal

If you're thinking of moving to Portugal, Pickfords has regular weekly services to this beautiful country. The most popular destinations, when moving to Portugal, include Faro, Lisbon and Estoril.

What is included in the service when moving to Portugal?

If you choose Pickfords when moving to Portugal, we will:

• Visit you at home to survey the goods that you plan to take with you
• Provide a free quotation and offer guidance to help you plan your move.
• Wrap and pack your items 
• Transport your goods to your new residence and unload and unpack
• Collect the packing materials

There are different services available, your move consultant should create a move plan designed to meet your specific needs.

Our moving services include:

Direct load

We pack your items at your home and load them directly onto a European road vehicle, which will transport your goods to your new home in Portugal. This service is recommended if it is important that your goods are delivered on a particular date. With a direct load service, you can specify your delivery date.

Part load

Your goods will be consolidated with other Pickfords customers moving to Portugal. The period of consolidation means that this service takes a little longer than a Direct Load. At the start of the move a delivery window is agreed. We will advise you of the scheduled delivery date when it is known. Part load is a more cost effective service than direct load and is recommended for people with flexible delivery dates.

What will happen if I cannot take delivery straight away?

Pickfords provides a professional storage service both in the UK and Portugal. Your move co-ordinator will arrange to place your goods in store until you are ready to arrange delivery to your new property.
