Make sure to be organised if you want to complete before Christmas

It might feel as though Christmas is a long way off, but it is less than three months until we are celebrating and when it comes to removals, this is not a great deal of time. If you are hoping to be in your new abode in time for festive celebrations, it’s important that you are organised with every element of your move.

According to research from Compare My Move, November and December are the two least popular months of the year for property moves in the UK. However, that doesn’t mean you should assume you can leave booking your removals in Christchurch, Poole and Bournemouth until the last minute.

There is still a great deal of demand for our services all year round, so make sure you contact us in plenty of time to ensure you are able to secure the moving date you have in mind.

As we know well at Removals Unlimited, the house moving process can seem to be going slowly, only to suddenly gather pace as you near completion. Get in touch with removal firms in the South West early and ask us for a free, no-obligation quote for our services.

This will not only allow you to assess the availability of our removals teams, but also allow you to plan for the cost of using professional movers and packers to ensure your move goes as smoothly as possible on the day.

Another good reason to be organised when it comes to arranging your move if you hope to be in your home by Christmas is that we are entering a time of year when bad weather is more likely. On a rainy or very windy day (and we certainly get our fair share of those on the South coast!) you will want your move to be as efficient as possible.

Our trained professional packers and movers will not only ensure that all your belongings are safely and securely packed, but also that they are transported to and from our removals vehicles as quickly as possible. We take great care to protect all of your possessions from any inclement weather and use a range of protection for furniture and other items.

The Open Property Group also offered some advice on how to ensure you are prepared for moving home towards the end of the year, when the nights are drawing in and we can expect colder weather.

Among their top tips is to have salt or grit available in case your driveway ices over, as this will allow you to create a safe and less slippery walkway between the removal vehicles and your home. Torches are also advisable, as your move may end up being completed after dark. A head torch is likely to be especially handy, as it will free up your hands.

If your move is happening just a few weeks from Christmas, you may also want to make sure that you know where your festive decorations are and label them accordingly, so that you can decorate your home shortly after moving in and really make it feel like your own in time for the Christmas season.

Our team understands that moving close to Christmas can feel a little more stressful, especially if you have children, so we will do all we can to make your move as stress-free as possible! We pack, move and store, so get in touch with us to learn more about our services and how we can help you prepare for a move before 25 December!
