What Is The Best Time of Year To Move in Crewe?
Surprisingly, the most popular month to move house in Crewe is December, with 11.18% of users choosing this time of year. Summer is often the most favoured time to book a removal across the UK, so it’s interesting to see a winter month achieve the highest percentage. With the Christmas holidays in full swing, many families won’t want to add to the chaos by moving house. However, that would result in less demand for removal companies and thus lower prices for movers. Perhaps this is why we’re seeing such a rise in Crewe house moves.
Both February and June had 5.90% of house moves, resulting in them being the least popular months to relocate in Crewe. February often brings colder temperatures and the threat of snow, so it’s not surprising to see such a low percentage. However, June often brings high demand for moving companies, meaning many of our previous users may have avoided this month in search of cheaper prices. Some families may also want to avoid moving house during exam season to reduce the amount of disruption in their children’s education.
If you’re able to be flexible with your moving date, make sure you compare removal quotes for a range of months and days to ensure you find the best deals available. If you’re relocating to Crewe, you may want to avoid March, July and December for your moving day as they are the most popular months and thus will mean more competition and higher prices.
What Is The Best Day Of The Week To Move In Crewe?
According to our research, Friday is the most popular day to move house in Crewe, with 36.65% of users choosing this day to relocate. The weekend is often popular amongst movers across the UK as it ensures you have plenty of time to plan, pack and then settle in without greatly disrupting the working week. The biggest issue with a weekend house move will be competition - the more demand companies see, the higher the prices will climb and the more time slots will disappear.
With only 3.42% of users booking removals on this day, Sunday is the least popular day of the week to move house in Crewe. However, our previous data also discovered that Sunday is actually the cheapest to move in the UK, so you may not want to immediately dismiss the idea.
If you do decide to book a Sunday house move, it’s important to highlight that most estate agents and conveyancing offices will be closed for the day, minimising the amount of communication available throughout the property chain. This can then increase the risk of delays.
