What is The Best Day Of The Week To Move In Milton Keynes?
The most popular day to move house amongst Milton Keynes movers is Friday with an overwhelming majority of 32.79%. Many movers prefer the weekend to move as, unlike the working week, there’s often more free time to make the most of.
In second place with 16.09% of users booking this day for their moving date, is Saturday - again proving the ideal conditions the weekend brings. However, Milton Keynes least favourite day to move is Sunday with only 3.65%.
This isn’t surprising as the following working week brings too much chaos for movers to settle in and unpack. Sunday may be the cheapest day to move but it is also when many conveyancing and estate agent offices are closed, meaning there’d be less communication throughout the property chain.
