Planning A Move: When Is the Best Time to Move?

When planning a move in Kuala Lumpur or Selangor, one of the big question to ask yourself if when is the best time to move?

The actual date and time of the move is a seemingly insignificant detail. However, this is a very important bit that can save you some money and stress during your move, as long as you get it right. Pick a good timing for moving by carefully considering the time of the day, week, month and year to allow for a less stressful and costly move.

Best Time of Day

It is time to rise and shine everyone! The best time to get moving is early in the morning, around 8am to 10m. Early mornings provide cooler conditions and makes moving easier, especially when physical labour is required to move heavy items. Imagine having to move large bulky items under the burning afternoon sun when you and the movers are already sweaty and hot. Moving into your new place early also leaves you with more time to unpack and tidy up your new place during the later part of the day.

Best Day of the Week

When choosing a moving date, it is best to stick to a weekday, between Monday and Thursday. This is the period with less demand as people usually plan their moves during the weekend when they are not working. The price of hiring a mover company would be lower if you choose to move during their less busy days. So take a day off from work so that you have more time to focus on your move. Moving on a weekday also will mean that you will have an entire upcoming weekend to unpack and clean up your new home.

Best Day of the Month

The best days to move during a month is at the middle of the month. This is the time when demand for mover is the lowest and the cost of hiring them will be the lowest as well. Generally, the beginning or end of the month is more likely to be busy for movers because property rent leases usually begin during that time. Try to avoid moving during the busy period if possible.

Best Time of Year

Usually people will choose to move during the school holidays to avoid interruption to their kid’s school lessons. If you do not have schooling kids, you may choose to move during non-school holidays to avoid high demand seasons. The best time of the year to move also depends on the weather and climate in your country. Usually summer months would be in higher demand compared to other seasons like spring, fall or winter.

In conclusion, not every of us will have the choice to move during the most ideal time. The best moving time for you will depend on your budget, location, weather, work flexibility and family situation. Taking some time to consider this small detail during the planning of your move can make a big difference during the move. Choose your moving date right and you can save some stress and money.
