Moving on one of these days will mean ample time to unpack and settle, without impacting the working week.
In contrast, Sunday is the least popular day to move house in Kent, with just 7% of our users moving on the last day of the weekend. In addition to it having an impact on the following (and usually, working) Monday, many estate agents and solicitors offices will be closed on Sunday.
