Spring is a favourite season, no doubt about that. Heaps of sunshine, flowers everywhere, perfect temperatures, and Easter, to name a few, are the reasons why we love this season. But did you know that spring is also the best time to move your house? Most people make the mistake of moving during the summers but being the peak season, shifting in summer will cost you more, and availability will also be a problem.
Below we have listed some of the pros and cons of moving your house in spring.
Pros
The weather is comfortable
It does not feel right to work when the temperatures are soaring or when the temperatures are freezing. The weather during the spring season is the best because it is not as harsh as the winters and summers; this makes the moving process a breeze.
Availability of professionals
Most homeowners move homes during the summers, so it is the peak season. Busy schedules make it impossible to hire your desired moving company due to more reservations. Also, if there are too many bookings, the company can cancel at the last moment due to staff unavailability. But this is not a problem in the spring season.
Better Deals on moving
The more the demand for a particular service, the higher the rates get. In spring, the demand is very low, and so the prices are also low. But as you keep getting closer to summer, you will notice a gradual hike in moving companies’ rates. If you want to save money, you might want to consider moving in spring. At MJ Movers we keep our prices the same, no matter what season it is.
Cons
Unpredictable rains
Spring is known for occasional unpredictable showers. This means you need to prepare ahead to prevent your furniture and other items from getting wet when it’s placed outside.
School time
Spring is an important and busy time at school, especially for older children. This is the time when most schools hold exams, organise sports events, proms, etc. So if you have school-going kids, moving homes during spring can become challenging.
Pollens in the air
Spring is the time when there is a lot of blooming of flowers, meaning you can expect a lot of pollens in the environment. If you suffer from pollen allergies, then be sure to cover pieces of furniture and boxes to prevent bringing pollens into your new abode.
Which is the best time of the month to move house?
Just like an ideal season to move house, there is also a perfect time of the month to make a move. The middle of the month is the best time. This is because of many rental leases turnover towards the end of a month. And everyone waits till the end of the month to move. Thus there is a greater demand for movers at the end of the month whereas it’s comparatively less in the middle. So you can make an affordable and more flexible move mid-month.
Spring is the best season to move your house if you are ready for it. Hire the best professional movers to make the shifting process hassle-free.
