Can鈥檛 advise on that one Jim as we sold the lot and bought what we needed when we needed it once we got here

I would check out Peter Morton removals (Favoured by many聽 right now as excellent reports recently)聽 and rss logistics for costs etc both these outfits can and do perform these things every day of the week

Also check out ANW cars paphos who specialize in聽 car transport

Cheers Toon

That's really what I am trying to work out - whether it's worth it to ship stuff over or not

Thanks for the references

when we shipped out of UK to Malta (2008) we sold everything too (needed to commit to the whole idea and it worked for us ) and bought cars in malta but never again will I buy a used car in malta and wont buy secondhand in Cyprus either... but i guess it depends on what you want ....聽 so if you have a good car check the import duties etc before committing to it聽 Morton and AWS will guide you .

then if you do move over bear in mind you will likely rent before buying for聽 upto 6-12 months then there are storage charges for your stuff to consider and you may find that the stuff you have brought over either wont suit the house or it just wont fit
more storing and selling to get the stuff you want and that fits and suits the property for your new lifestyle

Good luck
