When is it best to move in Belgium?

When preparing for a move, it is necessary to take into account the timing in which you want to move the bulk of the belongings. The seasons all have their advantages and disadvantages that you should know before making a choice. Maison Genné, specialist in moving in Belgium, presents these differences to you.

When should you contact a moving service?

You have to anticipate a lot of things and services before moving. The first concern is whether you are going to hire professional movers. If this is the case and you have already decided on the move-in date, it is best to book at least six weeks in advance. This specific date may be higher depending on the season. For example, if you want to move in the summer, you must book at least three months in advance.

In addition to being sure to have movers available, booking as soon as possible allows you to benefit from more advantageous rates. Moving professionals are very busy during the summer period and then apply higher price conditions. Weekends are also in high demand, as they are outside normal working hours. Ideally when you book, do it well in advance and choose a day during the week so that the cost is lower.

The advantages and disadvantages of the different seasons

First of all, as we have seen, it is important to note that the fees claimed by professional movers vary according to the seasons.

In addition, the different seasons have their own advantages and disadvantages. Here are a few:

• Spring: the ideal season for your transhumance. This is probably the best time to move. The good weather is back, moving companies have more availabilities and prices are affordable. At this time, many holidays can be taken into account when planning your move
• Summer: perfect for moving and adapting as a family. If you have children, this is an interesting time to move, because you are on vacation and will therefore be able to adapt to your new environment together. Sunny weather will also be there
  But be careful, as the temperatures can quickly become unbearable. Finally, movers are in high demand during this period and it can be difficult to have an available slot
• Autumn: opportune in terms of availability, but need anticipate starting in summer. Moving companies are out of their high season and have more availability. Small downside: the plans must be made during the holidays.
