How much stuff are you intending to bring back?
i.e. do you need a large Removal Truck; a Ford Cargo 3.5 Tonne or just a van for personal belongings.

Second hand furniture is so cheap on ebay in the UK.
I re-furnished my UK home (6 bedrooms; 5 reception rooms) for under £5,000 to give you an idea as I transported all my furniture to Switzerland on the sale of my house in the UK that fell through.

Contact Stephenr from this forum, he may be able to help you. He did a fantastic job helping me move from Basel to the UK.

Re: Need help Moving back to the Uk

Hello,
I would consider not taking the furniture back with you. Maybe sell the stuff before you leave. Just take your personal bits and pieces. Honestly, the cost and hassle of trying to transport such a small amount of furniture is probably not worth the headache, the time, and the expense.
Do you know where you are moving into when you get to the UK? A lot of rental places provide fully or partly furnished rooms.
The cost of replacing the stuff in the UK will not be that much.
Unless your furniture is valuable or antique or of sentimental value, I would leave it here.
Good luck with your move!
