The benefits of a summer move is that the days will be longer, evenings will be lighter and warmer. It is also an ideal time for families with children in school to move, in addition for those working in education, as June and July are during the summer holidays.

This could be due colder weather conditions and shorter days which could potentially impact a move. Furthermore, as December is often a busy and expensive month for many people, the months either side - November and January - could be an inconvenient time to organise a house move.
What Is The Best Day Of The Week To Move In Amersham?
Our data found that like most of the UK, movers in Amersham opt for a Friday move over any other day of the week. Over 24% of our users in the area moved on a Friday, compared with less than 6% who moved on a Sunday.
Moving at the end of the working week means you have the whole weekend to unpack and settle into your new property. Those with children may favour a Friday or weekend move as this also means minimal disruption to school hours.
Meanwhile, with Sunday the end of the weekend, it could impact the working and school week ahead. Another reason Sunday is a less popular day to move is that many estate agents and solicitors are likely to be closed, meaning if there is an issue with your new home, you may need to wait until the following day for it to be addressed.
