🏡🚚 WHAT ARE WE SEEING IN THE MOVING MARKET RIGHT NOW?
There’s plenty being said about the housing market at the moment but what are we actually seeing from the removals side as summer comes to an end?
One thing is certain… people are still moving!
What we are noticing is just how quickly things can change.
🏡 Moving dates taking longer to be confirmed
🔑 Exchange happening increasingly close to moving day
💷 In some cases, exchange and completion happening on the same day
📅 Proposed dates changing as chains progress
🚚 And then suddenly… it’s all systems go!
Our advice if you’re hoping to move during September or October?
Start planning your removal before you exchange.
Get your quotations, understand what’s involved and check availability with your preferred removal company.
You don’t necessarily need to have your completion date confirmed before starting those conversations and being prepared can make those final few weeks considerably less stressful.
📞 And once you have a proposed moving date, keep your removal company in the loop.
The final 14 days are particularly important. By around 6–7 days before your proposed move, we strongly recommend getting a realistic update from your solicitor on how likely the date is to proceed, even if exchange hasn’t happened yet.
If things are looking unlikely, knowing a little earlier gives us more time to work with you, look at alternative availability and rearrange your moving date where needed, rather than everyone trying to reorganise plans at the very last minute.
As a busy family-run removals company, we’re seeing the moving market first-hand every week, both here in Derbyshire and across the UK 💙💛
