According to research from Rightmove, March is the best month of the year to sell a property, so if you’ve been considering moving to a new home, this could be the time to put your property on the market. As Mortgage Strategy reported, March has consistently been the best month for selling. For five years (except the brief market closure in March 2020) the highest number of enquiries per property on sale have been received during March.

In addition, new property listings also peak in March each year. The UK’s property market continues to be strong through April and into May, which are the second and third-strongest months for property sales.

If you’re putting your home on the market in the coming weeks, make sure you’re also thinking about what you’ll need to do to plan your move and ensure it goes smoothly. Here at Removals Unlimited, we’re ready and waiting to support you however you need.

Our team of professional movers and packers are on hand to help with the heavy lifting, furniture dismantling and reassembly and can even pack up all of your belongings for the journey to your new home, if you opt for our full packing service.

Because there are typically so many people searching for new homes in the spring, it pays to be organised and ready to move, as property transactions can move particularly swiftly at this time of year.

Even if you don’t have a moving date, or even a new home lined up just yet, you can still get in touch with us for a free, no obligation quote for your move. We will assess your belongings, either via a video or in-person survey, and give you an accurate quote for your move. That way, you can factor in the cost of using our services when you are planning the other aspects of your move.

Another good reason to consider a move this March, rather than waiting until later in the year or even until next year, is that the Bank of England base rate is expected to steadily increase over the coming 12 months. In February this year, the Bank of England’s Monetary Policy Committee voted to increase the base rate from 0.25% to 0.5%.

At present, the rate is expected to climb to around 1.5% by the middle of 2023, which means if you are going to borrow through a mortgage to buy your new home, you could benefit from locking in lower interest rates on your repayments if you take out a mortgage in the coming months, rather than putting your move off.

We know that March and April are often busy periods in the property market and we are ready to help as many people as possible complete their moves with as little stress and hassle as possible. We are a bespoke, experienced and reliable removals company and our friendly team will treat each and every one of your possessions as though it is their own. Your move is in safe hands when you come to Removals Unlimited!
