EVERY SEASON HAS ITS REASON: TIPS FOR MOVING IN THE YEAR

November 25, 2021

Moving to a new house is always an operation. Stuff to wrap and unpack, decisions which to take and leave behind could take a considerable amount of time and effort that can’t all just take place in one day. 

These factors and more could also get slight setbacks from weather conditions and seasonal costs that could make it all a little more challenging. 

Depending on which circumstance affects you most, we’ve broken down several reasons you should pick when moving out of your home into a new one. 

Winter 

Although not the most popular choice among all the seasons, moving during this season has a lot of positive sides. 

The cold weather should also serve as your warning, bundle up as much as you have to and you should also have to think about how it’s going to affect your electronics on the trip. 

But the good thing is you get lower prices from moving companies, one thing to remember though is to make sure you choose a reputable company that is well-experienced driving in the heavy snow and frozen roads.

Spring

Spring is a popular time to move as everybody knows. The weather permits the availability of all services, which means there’s a lot of choices to choose from and moving companies could give a lot of good rates. 

Still, there’s a lot of rain and probably some early snow so you might check your weather before that trip. It’s also still school season, moving the children during this time could mean that it could disrupt their education. 

Summer

Summer also has its beauty, considering the weather, the days are longer and nights are shorter making it a lot more popular than the other seasons, which means you can start earlier and finish up a lot more work than usual. 

The downside though, is that it is peak season, and you’d have to compete with a lot of people for time slots when using a moving company. Fortunately, the school’s over and you have a lot of helping hands to carry stuff up and down the house. Unpacking becomes a family bonding experience.

Autumn

Moving in the autumn is also ideal except in late autumn when school finally starts. The weather’s not so cold and moving companies are not that busy yet. Be sure to schedule your move in early autumn when the days are a lot longer than it usually is. 

In summary, you’d want to consider these tips: 

Move during the week. It could be challenging for anyone who has a 9-5 job but you could get better service from movers since they’re busiest during the weekends. The kids could be at school though, so there’s a lower chance they’d steer clear from heavy furniture and equipment. 

Move early. Depending on the size of your load, it’s best to choose the earliest time available so that you could get moving when the weather is favourable and the sun is still up. 

Plan ahead. Book movers a month ahead, the middle of the month is always the best choice since leases usually end at the end of each month so you’re in for some wild competition as with other families planning to move. 

Everybody wants a stress-free, budget-friendly move. The tips above could give you more opportunities for success. We hope this helps you find the perfect season, day and time for your next move.
