This Christmas home moving guide is for anyone whose completion date lands in December. Moving over the holidays might not seem ideal, yet for many people it works well. Time off work and fewer bookings can both help. With van hire in Warrington, you move on your own schedule.
Why a Festive Move Can Work
Many people have the same days off between Christmas and New Year. So, helpers are easier to find. In addition, demand for vans is often lower in late December than at Easter or in summer. Even so, book ahead rather than leaving it to chance.
Plan Early
Give yourself several weeks to pack. Start with spare rooms and seasonal items, then finish with the kitchen and bedrooms. For most flats, a long wheelbase high roof van is enough. For bigger homes, however, a Luton van with tail lift saves effort. Our guide on how to choose the right van size helps you decide.
Packing Around Christmas
Pack decorations in their own labelled box. Then carry gifts and anything precious in the cab, not the load area. Also, label every box on the sides and top, because you may arrive after dark.
Moving Day in December
Daylight is short, so start early and aim to be on the road by mid-morning. If frost is likely, allow extra time to clear the van. Our post on what to bring when you collect your hire van lists the checks.
Settling In
As this Christmas home moving guide shows, the holidays give you time to unpack at a calm pace. Once you have moved, update your licence on the official GOV.UK change your driving licence address page. We also help movers from Runcorn van hire and Haydock van hire areas.
