We were pleased to learn there were no hidden costs which many other companies have (including charging for over time and moving at a weekend which move me sooner dont have). Throughout the whole process Darren was easily contactable and responded promptly. The guys sent to pack up the house were lovely and insured all of our belongings were transported safely. It was amazing going to work and coming back home to the house being ready to go with no worry on packing valuables. Everyone says moving is one of the most stressful things you can do but their packing service made this stress minimal. On the day of the move all the team were fantastic and ensured we had no casualties. Every box or item was placed in the new house in the place we requested. They had all our furniture in place and beds rebuilt at the new house in time for our childrens bed time. The stairs were not easy to navigate but nothing phased them and they got the job done swiftly. Highly recommend move me sooner! Thank you to all involved in our move. "

What is The Best Time of Year To Move in Leicester?
In Leicester, we discovered that the best and most popular time of year to move house is in August, with over 12% of home moves occurring then. Summer is often a favourite time of year to move as the longer and brighter days make the perfect conditions and the school holidays ensures that children are not disrupted during their schoolwork.
August is also the most popular time to move house for the entirety of the UK, proving that summer has the optimal conditions for moving house. The school holidays means exam season is over and the British weather starts to peak, meaning more removals can be booked. Don’t forget to compare quotes early as the increase in competition could reduce the number of time slots available.
With only 5.9% of removals booked during February, Winter seems to be the least popular time of year to move house in Leicester. This is understandable as the cold weather and darker days aren’t the best conditions for transporting personal belongings. April is also unpopular among Leicester movers, possibly due to the looming exam season where children’s schoolwork increases.

As the weekend provides ample amounts of free time to unpack and prepare for the upcoming week, it’s unsurprising that Friday is the most popular day to move house in Leicester.

Only 4.6% of users chose a Sunday as their removal date, making it the least popular day to move for the city.
