What is The Best Time of Year To Move in Croydon?
When researching, we found that the best time of year to move in Croydon was over the summer period. According to our data, the most popular month for a house move within the area was August with over 12%, closely followed by July and September. With less chance of rain and longer, warmer days, it’s no wonder home movers often prefer to complete their move during these months.
In addition to being the best time of year for the removal itself, summer is also a cost-effective time to move into your new home as the lighter and warmer evenings can sometimes contribute to lower gas and electric bills. At an expensive time such as buying and moving to a new house, this can be highly beneficial.
In contrast, the least popular time of year to move was winter, with the fewest amount of moves taking place in January and February. Our data saw only 6% of removals being booked for January, with many movers not wanting to follow the hectic festive period with moving chaos.
What is The Best Day Of The Week To Move In Croydon?
The best day of the week to move within Croydon was Friday according to our unique data, with over 25% of users moving house on the last day of the week. A Friday move often means you have the whole weekend to unpack and settle in, so it’s no surprise that this proved to be the most popular day for a house move.
Our data also discovered that Sunday was the least popular day for moving house, with just 6.5% choosing this day. This is not surprising as many estate agents and conveyancing offices are closed on Sundays, which could mean further delays if you need to contact either of them on the day the move. With fewer chances of communicating, you could completely halt the process for all parties involved in the property chain.
Most Popular Locations for Croydon Movers?
Looking to move out of Croydon? Our research showed that many users were considering moving out of the borough, with 4 particular locations coming out on top as an alternative. Rest assured, our removal partners can cater to all types of requirements, whether you request a local or long-distance move.
The most popular area to move to from Croydon was Central London with just under 11% of the overall percentage. However, with the average property price at £496,269, it’s not surprising that there are a number of more affordable areas that also gained popularity. The top 4 areas also included Purley, Coulsdon and Caterham.
To help with your research, we've taken data from the property website, Rightmove, including the average sold house prices.
