Local Movers Blog

August and July are notably dearer, as most people move in the summer when prices spike.

Pack non-essentials, confirm details with your movers, notify utilities, and book time off work if needed.

Usually by midday for house sales, but always confirm with both movers and the estate agent. Earlier is better to avoid last-minute stress.

Traditionally, Friday is busy and sometimes avoided to dodge congestion and higher prices. Some avoid Tuesdays for superstition!

Local lore often picks Thursdays or Fridays for good luck, but honestly, the best day is the day everything goes smoothly!

January and September are quieter, meaning you may snag a better rate these months.

Leave manuals, spare keys, and any fixtures agreed in the sale; new owners will appreciate the thoughtfulness.

Sundays are cheapest, followed by Wednesdays—avoid Fridays and weekends if budget is tight.

Cancel or transfer utilities, broadband, bins, post, and any local services or papers before you go.

Finish packing, label everything, keep hallways clear, unplug appliances, and reserve parking for the truck.
