Longer days, better weather, and school holidays make summer a great time of year to move into your new build home. If you’re considering moving this summer, here are five reasons you absolutely should!

Take advantage of the longer days

Whether you’re packing or unpacking, bright mornings and longer evenings will help make your home move feel that little bit lighter. With more daylight hours, you’ll find it easier to prepare for your move while juggling existing commitments. Better weather also makes it easier to complete any outstanding maintenance in your existing house and/or garden before you hand over the keys.

Settle in over the summer holidays

If you’re moving as a family, summer is a great option to make sure everyone is involved. Moving house is a big change for all the family, but especially for children. The school holidays present the perfect opportunity to say goodbye to your existing home and settle into your new home together. And when it comes to packing and unpacking, many hands make light work…hopefully.

Host friends and family while the sun is shining

At St. Modwen Homes, creating light and bright interiors is always a priority. This means summer is the perfect time to show off your brand-new home to friends and family. Once you’re settled, why not fire up the BBQ and host an alfresco housewarming for your nearest and dearest?

Get to know your new neighbours

Everyone enjoys spending more time outside during the summer months. Moving in summer gives you more time to explore your new neighbourhood and plenty of opportunities to strike up a conversation with your new neighbours while you're out in the garden, taking an evening stroll, or even washing the car.
