Question
Is it better to ship furniture from Australia to Spain (at a cost of approximately $18k) or sell it and buy new furniture upon arrival in Spain, considering factors such as cost, style compatibility, import taxes, and the possibility of returning to Australia in the future? Are rentals in Mallorca typically furnished?
Answers
These are the answers of some Facebook group members:
“Almost all rentals in Spain are furnished. Also, lots of houses are sold fully or partially furnished. Often you can negotiate on the furniture in a house you are purchasing if it is not part of the package.”
“Hello Laura, we moved to Spain 2 weeks ago, we were in the same situation and we decided to sell everything. Prices are a lot higher so we ended up making money on pretty much everything!
Most houses in Spain are fully furnished so it will not be a problem. We will look for a furnished house if we go back to Australia and set up everything slowly again!”
