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.
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.
