What Is The Best Time of Year To Move In Epsom?
Our data revealed that the most popular time of year for our users to move in Epsom is during August. Over 13% of users opted for this month, with over 12% choosing to move in June.
These months offer better moving conditions with longer, lighter and warmer evenings, ideal for effectively moving, unpacking and settling into your new home.
With this in mind, the least popular time to move is during the winter. Just 5% of our Epsom movers arranged a January move, no doubt due to the fact that it is the month following the festive season. Christmas and other holidays can be expensive and often busy, which is likely why January is not a favourite among movers.
Furthermore, the days are darker, shorter, and colder, potentially impacting the moving process.
What Is The Best Day Of The Week To Move In Epsom?
According to our users in Epsom, the best day of the week to move is on a Friday. Over 31% of our customers opted to move at the end of the week, in stark contrast to just 4% who arranged a move on a Sunday.
Moving on a Friday means having the entire weekend to move, settle in and enjoy your new home, with minimal disruption to work. It also means little disruption to school if you have a young family.
A Sunday move can pose problems for a number of reasons, not least because many estate agents and solicitor offices are shut. Should there be any issue when moving in, it may not be resolved until the following day.
That said, a less popular moving day such as a Sunday can often be a cheaper day to move. If you are on a budget or don’t have a normal Monday to Friday week, a Sunday move could be of benefit.
