Moving House in Autumn: The Advantages Nobody Tells You
Everyone moves in summer. School holidays, long days, settled weather - the logic seems obvious. But the advantages of an autumn move in Kent are significant and largely overlooked.
Removal companies are less busy
Summer is peak season for removals. October and November are significantly quieter. That means more date flexibility, easier booking and in some cases more competitive pricing. The same service is simply easier to access.
The heat is gone
Moving heavy furniture in July heat is genuinely unpleasant - for you and for the crew. Autumn temperatures in Kent make the physical work of moving considerably more comfortable. Things tend to go faster when everyone is not overheating.
School year has settled
If you have children who are already in a Kent school, moving in October half-term or after the first half of the autumn term means they have already established friendships and can stay in touch with classmates from the old school. Less disruption than a mid-summer move before they have started.
Estate agents are motivated
Sellers who are still on the market in autumn have often been trying to sell since spring. They are frequently more motivated and more negotiable than a summer seller with multiple offers. Autumn buyers sometimes get better deals.
