I used Henrique's company for a move from my apartment in Lisbon to a house I bought in the countryside, and I was happy with the service overall, with his team, with his communication, and the price felt fair. We had an issue with a missing item in the van, but Henrique's communication was good and it was resolved in the end. There were no damages or anything like that, just a slight delay in the beginning but everything was fine.

Lisbon, Oct 2026

I hired them for a move from Lisbon to Porto, and the staff were very friendly and extremely helpful, both the person I kept in touch with and the movers themselves. What surprised me was that the final cost was far off from the initial quote, partly because they relied on photos instead of coming to see what needed to be moved and I also needed help finishing the packing. They came with a bigger vehicle and a smaller one, did not manage to fit everything in one trip, and had to come back the next day, which added more time and cost, and there were also some scratches and wall damage. I would still recommend them and would work with them again, but next time I would ask them to come and check everything first so there is no big surprise at the end.

I’ve worked with Francisco a couple of times, including a much bigger show at a museum, where he handled the installation and movement of artworks with his team. He’s very experienced with works of art, always on time and courteous, and we communicated daily with no complaints. He installed very big works - not an easy thing to do - led the team well, is very technical, and listened to instructions and synthesized them into what we needed. I’d recommend him for installation of art or anything that needs moving in that context.

Frequently Asked Questions

What expats want to know before hiring movers in Lisbon.

Are there English-speaking movers in Lisbon?
Yes, and more do as the expat community grows. The hard part is knowing who is reliable before you book, so every one we list is reviewed by other expats who have actually used them.
What should I check before hiring movers in Lisbon?
Read recent reviews, be clear about exactly what you need, and agree the scope and an estimate in writing before any work starts. For anything regulated, check they hold the right credentials for the job.
What is the most important thing to know before booking?
Be clear about what you want and get the price and scope agreed up front, so there are no surprises. Reading other expats' reviews is the quickest way to find someone who does the job well and communicates clearly.
What should I avoid when hiring movers in Lisbon?
Avoid paying the full amount up front (a deposit can be fair), anyone who will not give a clear quote, and unusually cheap prices that get padded with extras later.
How do I explain what I need if my Portuguese is limited?
A photo, a short video or a written list does most of the talking, and the professionals we list are used to international clients. Booking an English-speaking one takes the stress out of it entirely.
How do you say movers in Portuguese?
In Portuguese, movers are usually called empresas de mudancas. That is the word to search for or to ask a neighbour, though many professionals here are used to the English term too.
How do I find movers I can trust in Lisbon?
Check the reviews and any credentials before you book. On Locallista the reviews are phone-verified and the ranking is based on real expat experience, not who paid the most.
