With Christmas fast approaching, it's not only shops and retail outfits that are getting ready for sudden onslaught of customers.As well as Estate and Lettings Agents, Removal and Shipping companies are getting ready for Christmas as well. After Summer and Easter holidays, this is one of busiest times of year for moving home.
Anyone that was unlucky enough not to complete their house sale in summer months is now desperately trying to make sure that they move this side of Christmas, so that all loose ends are tied up before New Year. Also Christmas and New Year see end of many tenancy agreements, so therefore renting market becomes saturated with vacant properties to let.
Being a tenant at this time of year is great, due to extensive range of properties that are available. And if you're lucky, you may even get a discount on monthly rent or deposit due to fact that landlord is having trouble letting it out.
However, if you're a landlord at this time of year, you will have to make sure that property you are letting is picture perfect so that you get right kind of tenant and right price for your property. With so many people taking advantage of Buy to Let market, you cannot afford for your property to be on bottom rung of ladder right now.
Although, actual moving day may not be top priority for many people relocating, it should not be forgotten and left till end.
You see, many people think that booking a removal company is like booking a taxi - Quick and easy.
What many people don't realise is that removal companies can be fully booked for days and weeks in advance. So if you don't want to be left with really expensive companies or on other hand, cowboy firms, contact your movers well in advance.
