What is The Best Time of Year To Move in Bromley?
Our data discovered that the summer months were the most popular time to book removals in Bromley, increasing the competition. August was the favourite month, with 13% of removal companies carrying out house moves during this date. July was a close second with 10% of movers choosing this warmer month.
Summer was also a popular time for other movers across the UK as the increased temperatures and sunny days often create the perfect moving conditions. Whilst there may be a slight increase in traffic when the weather brightens, it still makes for the perfect moving journey due to the clear skies and abundance of light.
It’s no surprise that our data revealed December to be the least popular month for our Bromley movers, with just 5% of house removals scheduled around this festive period. With shorter days and darker nights, many people avoid a winter move as it can sometimes mean a busier and delayed moving day, depending on the local weather conditions.
What is The Best Day Of The Week To Move In Bromley?
Friday was the most popular day to move house in Bromley according to our data, with 27% of removals taking place on the gateway to the weekend. A further 21% of people preferred to move house on a Saturday whilst 17% chose Thursday. One possible reasoning for this could be that it ensures they then have the entire weekend to unpack and settle into their new house, meaning fewer disruptions and a more efficient process.
Our data also found that Sunday was the least popular day for moving house in Bromley. With estate agents and conveyancing offices closed on Sundays, if a problem occurred, you’d have to wait until the following Monday when they open back up to resolve the issue. This would delay the whole process, especially if you’re part of a property chain.
However, if it suited your schedule, you shouldn't immediately dismiss a Sunday move. Not only would it mean less competition when it comes to booking a time slot, but it can often mean a cheaper house move. Despite only 2.69% of moves occurring on this day throughout 2020, Sunday was the cheapest option in Bromley with an average cost of £717.
