Best Time to Move

Latest News

You don’t always have much say about what time of year, or what day of the week you can move, but if you do, there are several things to consider. Here, at Albany Removals, we can provide some insight into the busy times and what to avoid, if possible, to ensure you and your chain, get a removal booked in and completed without complications. This applies to buying or renting.

The busiest time for removals is the summer holiday period. Better weather and longer days make for a more pleasant and easier move, though August can be a rainy month. One of the big push factors for a summer move is getting ready for the new school year. Moving in the summer months avoids disrupting children already in school and has them settled into their new home before the new school year. West Bridgford and Ruddington are very busy areas for moves, at this time, as the schools are particularly popular.

House buying and selling picks up in spring, as much to do with the feeling of positivity the season brings as the practicality of planning, so a hassle-free conveyancing experience finishes in those summer months too.

Friday is the busiest moving day. The weekend gives people more time to get settled and reduces time off work (if you are employed Monday to Friday). Add a bank holiday and you find the most popular days of the year, adding an extra day to the weekend.

Moving at the end of the month can mean another whole month before paying the mortgage for some. And for renters, most contracts run until the end of the month, so moving then avoids losing money.

If you are moving during these busy periods make sure you book your removal early, and check your chain is doing the same. I have had to disappoint many people, desperate to book a removal company, but find Albany Removal and every other local removal company is fully booked. It is not unusual to receive requests for bookings from people well outside the Nottingham and Rushcliffe area Albany tends to manly serve, during these busy times, because their local companies are all booked.

I actually experienced this problem myself recently, when I moved. My buyer, who was moving from outside the area, couldn’t get a removal company, nor could her buyer, so we had to rearrange.

Fridays, especially bank holiday weekends, are particularly prone to difficulties if you are undertaking a long-distance move. This is because the roads tend to be very busy and can slow the whole process. Never-the-less good planning can allow you to make the most of these bank holiday weekends without undue stress. We at Albany Removals will help you plan and organised your move with realistic schedules.

There is one way to avoid many of these problems; move on a Monday or Tuesday. These are the least busy days for removal companies. Not only are you going to find it easier to book a removal company, but your move is also likely to proceed quicker as the solicitors have fewer completions to do. This means a reduced risk of additional fees due to delays in receiving the keys to your new property.

Whatever your need, Albany removals will help to make your move as smooth and stress free as possible.
