I would probably have done that had I had a house in the UK.
I'll probably take extra suitcases with Jet 2, they allow up to 3 x 22 kg bags

Re: Best way of taking personal stuff to UK
WHen we move back to UK, there are things such as personal files, tax health care, sentimental stuff etc which can't go on the removal lorry, and would have to go with us,
What is the best way of transporting these items?
We could take extra luggage and fly but I would worry about it getting lost
We dont want to drive back

Another suggestion which may help would be to scan documents and then use an internet service like Dropbox to store the scanned info. Then you need only take a small amount of documents with you on a flight, and use a courier for the other docs knowing that you had a back-up.

Re: Best way of taking personal stuff to UK
Its a long way to Barcelona or Madrid, dragging large heavy cases, then changing trains etc. Sounds too much like hard work!
We had considered going by coach, but the 30-40 hour journey sounds arduous abd stressful, and includes a long wait in Paris
We' ve decided to go with Jet2 who allow uo to 3 22 kg suitcases each, though we'll have 3-4.
As for documents, we've so many what with the Spanish obsession with all these photo copies, and their love of bureauracy.
I'll carry the most vital in my hand luggage and remainder in the extra suitcase.
