When is the best time to move house in the UK?
Timing your move correctly can make a significant difference to what you pay. February is consistently the cheapest month for removals across the UK, while August is the most expensive. Weekend bookings cost up to 40% more than mid-week, and end-of-month slots add a further 20% due to rental contract turnovers.
