When booking your removals on the day of completion, it is generally advisable to schedule them for the afternoon rather than the morning. This is because the completion process in a property transaction can sometimes experience delays or unforeseen complications, which may affect the timing of your move.
By booking your removals for the afternoon, you allow some flexibility in case there are any unexpected delays in the completion process. This way, you can avoid potential stress or complications if the completion takes longer than anticipated.
Additionally, scheduling your removals for the afternoon allows you some time in the morning to finalise any last-minute tasks, such as cleaning or packing any remaining items. It also gives you the opportunity to address any issues that may arise during the completion process, such as signing documents or resolving any outstanding matters.
However, it is important to communicate with your removal company and conveyancer and keep them informed about the progress of the completion process. This will allow them to adjust their schedule accordingly and ensure a smooth transition for your move.
Ultimately, the specific timing of your removals will depend on various factors, including the estimated completion time provided by your solicitor, the distance between your current and new property and any specific requirements or constraints you may have. It is advisable to discuss your specific needs and circumstances with your removal company to determine the most suitable timing for your move.
