Summer is the busiest time of year for moving house so plan ahead

23 Jun 2015 Summer is the busiest time of year for moving house so plan ahead

It may not come as a surprise that summer is the busiest time of year for moving house. The longer daylight hours at this time of year and better weather conditions (although not guaranteed!) are factors contributing to people moving from their old home to a new abode. Those moving home with children, may feel that the six-week summer holiday which is fast approaching offers a less disruptive time to their child’s normal routine.

It is easy to see how these benefits add to the popularity of home removals over the summer period. Our managing director, Tim Aspey, gives his expert advice on why booking your removal company early is essential for moving home smoothly this summer.

Too much to do and too little time

"It is understandable that home movers may feel they have so overwhelmed with what they need to do and remember, that they forget to book their home removal company well in advance. The irony is if you book your removals company early they can help you organise your house move effectively and help you pack, provide packing tips, materials and even a move co-ordinator to ensure everything goes smoothly."

Avoid disappointment and diary changes

"People assume that they will have no problem booking their chosen removal firm on the date they have in mind to move, but over the busy summer period they could be disappointed. It can be really disruptive having to alter your house moving date. Getting in touch with your home removal firm early to secure your booking, means you can relax and dedicate time to making plans for your new home."

Schools out

"Although the school summer holidays may be a useful time to move for those working in education or who have children, it’s worth remembering that it’s also the time when students are moving for the summer and graduates are re-locating to embark upon new careers. Even more reason not to leave booking your removal company to the last minute."
