    What is The Best Time of Year To Move in Birmingham?

    After analysing over 2,900 removal quotes, we’ve discovered that the most popular time of year to move was August. Over 10% of our house removals occurred during this month in Birmingham, which is unsurprising due to the warmer weather and longer days making the process a lot smoother. Summer often brings the ideal moving conditions, which is why many users are eager to book early.

    The rest of the UK seems to also agree as August was again the favoured month to move. If you’re thinking about joining the masses and moving during the warmer months, then why not use Compare My Move to beat the competition and save up to 70% on the cost of your removal. We only work with verified home movers, ensuring that your experience is as efficient as possible.

    The colder months appear to be the least popular times to move in Birmingham, as only 6.7% of removals occurred during November and only 6.8% in February. Nobody wants to move house in the rain or snow and so it’s obvious why these are often the least favoured. However, April was also low on our list, perhaps due to the start of exam season. It's often perceived that parents can lower the amount of disruption for their children by moving during the school holidays - our data seems to co-operate with this theory.

    What is The Best Day Of The Week To Move In Birmingham?

    With a majority of 30.3% of removals occurring on this day, Friday was the most popular day to move house in Birmingham. Not only is traffic usually a lot calmer, but with both Saturday and Sunday allowing you to settle into your new home and unpack, it’s easy to see why this day is favoured above the rest.

    Sunday was the least popular day to move house in this area, with only 6% of movers choosing this day for their moving date. Many offices will be closed on Sundays which reduces the line of communication during a house move, potentially extending the deadline the buyer can retrieve the keys.

    However, if you’re looking to move on a budget and don’t mind unpacking throughout the week, then you may want to consider moving on this day as it also happens to be the cheapest. If your personal schedule allows it, you may not want to dismiss a Sunday move so soon.

    Despite the benefits of living in Birmingham, many people will still want to move out of the city, leaving the hectic lifestyle and traffic jams behind.

The most popular location outside of Birmingham was Solihull, with 4.2% of removals having been booked here. Sutton Coldfield, London, Walsall and Tamworth were also popular choices.

    With an average property price of £256,167, it’s easy to see why the city is such a popular choice. However, whether it’s for job opportunities, education or simply a fresh start, many home movers still choose to look elsewhere despite the lower house prices. Solihull has an average of £293,229. Whilst this is higher than Birmingham's average, the area offers more green spaces and larger homes for growing families. No matter what you're reasoning, our dedicated team can get you packed up and moving in no time.
