Why winter can work in your favour
Demand is lower in the colder months, so dates are easier to get. If your timing is flexible, a winter move can mean more choice and less competition for the day you want.
Eight tips for a smooth winter move
- Clear and salt walkways, steps and the driveway before the crew arrives
- Lay down old towels or cardboard inside doorways to catch slush
- Keep the heat on at both the old and new place
- Protect electronics by letting them reach room temperature before plugging in
- Wrap furniture well, since cold and damp are hard on wood and fabric
- Keep a smaller bag with hats, gloves and warm layers handy
- Allow extra time, as winter driving is slower
- Have a backup plan for severe weather and stay in touch with your movers
