With darker days, the potential for bad weather and the pressure of the festive season, many home movers will avoid December as it can often cause unnecessary stress during the move.

According to our data, the most popular day to move house in Kent is overwhelmingly a Saturday, with over 23% of our users moving in the area on this day. This is closely followed by Friday, with just shy of 20% of our users moving on the gateway to the weekend. 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. If there is an issue during the move on a Sunday, many movers would have to wait until the following day for it to be resolved, causing delays.
