When it comes to moving house, whether you’re moving solo or with your family, the timing of your move can have a big impact on everything from overall cost to moving company and housing availability. While the warm weather makes summer an obvious choice, there’s a strong case to be made for moving in the spring. In fact, spring could offer the perfect combination of convenience, affordability, and comfort, especially if you're on a tight budget.

Moving house in autumn or winter can save you money through off-peak removal dates, but rain, snow, wind, and ice require extra preparation. This guide shows you how to protect your belongings with waterproof covers and sealed containers, arrange parking permits even on red routes, and work safely with experienced removal companies. Learn when to check weather forecasts, how to prepare your property for wet conditions, what insurance coverage you need for weather delays, and practical tips for moving day safety. Summer and spring remain popular due to better weather, but moving in other seasons is entirely manageable with the right planning and professional support.
