"When I moved out they helped me to move out in time. They arrived early in the morning and we were out by the due time. The new property was not ready so I had to use their storage for three weeks. They sent me invoices and I always paid in time. The moving in the new property I had different people of the team. One of them told me they were taking few minutes of break.. At the end of the moving one of the team called the office and they asked me to pay without receiving an invoice. They waited outside for me to pay but I told them I needed to have the invoice first like the did with the other payments. I did not like they waited in the moving truck for me to pay. I was paying them. They also decided to take five minutes of break when I was paying them. I had different people of the team when I moved in the new property and I did not like one of them. I felt he was upset working on Sunday when they accepted to work on that day. "

Agreeing with the rest of the UK, Winter was the least popular time of year to move for those living in South London. January was especially unpopular with only 6.2% choosing to move then. With cold, dark days and the risk of snow creating dangerous driving conditions, it’s no surprise that Winter isn’t popular amongst many of our British movers.
Friday was the most popular day to move house in South London, with 25.9% of our movers choosing this as their moving day. With the weekend following closely behind, Friday offers an abundance of spare time outside of the working week to unpack and settle into your new home. The ensures a much less stressful process, especially for those who do not work weekends.
The least popular day to move house, however, was Sunday with only 6.1% of movers choosing this day. Nobody wants to recover from a move during the following week and so Sunday can often be an inopportune time for many. There will also be a large number of estate agent and conveyancing offices closed, possibly disrupting the process should there be any issues that arise.
However, if it suits your personal schedule, you could find moving on a Sunday brings less competition and a fairly cheaper removal. There will be a greater number of time slots available as well as less traffic during the journey depending on the time of the move.
