Moving in Autumn: What to Consider

Moving house during autumn has its own set of unique challenges and opportunities. With the cooler temperatures and changing landscape, it’s a great time for a fresh start, but it also requires a little extra planning to make sure the process goes smoothly. Here’s what you should consider when moving in the autumn months and how MooveIt Removals can help ensure your move is stress-free.

1. Unpredictable Weather

Autumn weather can be a mixed bag—one day it’s sunny and crisp, and the next, it’s raining and windy. While the cooler temperatures can make the physical aspect of moving more comfortable, wet and windy conditions can pose challenges.

Tips for Handling Autumn Weather:

  • Keep an eye on the forecast: Try to schedule your moving day when the weather looks most favourable. However, if rain or wind is unavoidable, make sure items are packed securely in waterproof materials, and use heavy-duty covers to protect your furniture.
  • Prepare for muddy conditions: Have doormats or plastic sheets at both the old and new property to prevent mud from being tracked inside. Moove It’s team is equipped to handle weather-related challenges and will help keep your belongings safe and dry.

2. Shorter Days

As autumn progresses, the days get shorter, with darkness falling earlier in the evening. This means less daylight for your move, which can impact both loading and unloading.

Tips for Managing Shorter Days:

  • Start early: Plan your move to begin as early in the day as possible to make the most of the available daylight. Starting around 8 a.m. ensures you have enough time to get settled before nightfall.
  • Light it up: If you’re moving late in the afternoon, make sure both your old and new home are well-lit. Keep flashlights handy, and check that all exterior lighting is working to make unloading in the dark easier.

At Moove It, we’re flexible with our scheduling and will work with you to ensure your move happens within the best possible time frame, so you won’t be stuck moving in the dark.

 

3. Best Times for Moving During Autumn

With school back in session and the holiday season approaching, autumn can be a quieter time for moving compared to the summer rush. This often means more flexibility in scheduling your move and potentially better availability from moving companies like Moove It.

Tips for Choosing the Best Time:

  • Mid-week and mid-month moves: If you have flexibility in your schedule, aim for a mid-week or mid-month move. These times tend to be less busy, allowing for more convenient scheduling and potentially lower rates.
  • Avoid holiday weekends: With holidays like Halloween and Bonfire Night in the autumn, it’s a good idea to avoid moving during these busy times to prevent delays and ensure everything goes smoothly.
