At a Glance
Moving before Christmas can offer unexpected advantages for renters. With a calmer property market, quicker logistics, and more availability across premium listings, the run-up to the festive season can be an ideal moment to secure a new home. Families benefit from extra time to settle before the new school term, while furnished, fully serviced apartments make hosting and holiday preparation effortless. At Dolphin Square, our luxury, fully serviced Pimlico apartments provide modern comforts, weekly housekeeping, and a peaceful riverside setting, creating an ideal place to begin the new year.
Considering Moving Before Christmas?
As the festive season approaches, the London rental market naturally becomes quieter, but still active enough to offer excellent opportunities for renters. With fewer people competing for premium properties and landlords keen to secure tenants before the new year, this period often brings more choice, quicker decisions, and a smoother path to securing a luxury apartment.
So if you’re still on the fence about moving to a new apartment before Christmas, this article is for you!
Below, we discuss the 4 key benefits of moving into an elegant, furnished Dolphin Square apartment in the heart of Pimlico right before Christmas.
4 Reasons Why Moving Before Christmas May Work in Your Favour
The days leading up to the biggest holiday of the year may just be the best time to move into a new home. Imagine the magical experience it brings as you ring in the celebrations in a brand new space with fresh, unforgettable memories waiting to be made.
If you’re still unsure, let’s explore the 4 benefits of moving before Christmas that you may not be considering:
1. The Market Advantage
Spring and summer can be the busiest times of the year for luxury rental agents. The calmer and steadier London property market in autumn means lower competition over leases and shorter wait times for a viewing.
This helps renters relocate more easily and quickly this time of the year, as the demand slows down and it becomes faster to process paperwork.
2. Perfect Timing for Families
Many families prefer moving before Christmas, as it gives them enough time to settle in, especially before the spring term starts. With a more stable property market and extra days off from work or school, those moving homes can complete relocation without delay and with enough time to prepare for the holidays.
It also gives you enough time to thoroughly check your apartment for proper heating systems, high-quality insulation, and energy-efficient features to keep you warm and comfortable throughout the colder months ahead.
Take this chance to move into our studio, one-, two-, or three-bedroom apartment featuring new cutting-edge heating systems and an apartment thermostat with app controls to enjoy your new space in ultra comfort.

4 Expert-Backed Tips for A Stress-Free Holiday Move
Once you’ve decided whether a pre-festive move is right for you, it’s normal to feel a mix of excitement and anxiety before the move. These four expert-backed tips are the secret recipe for a stress-free move before the year ends:
1. Book Movers Early
Once you’ve decided on your new home, get a head start by booking a reliable moving company that can take care of the packing and unpacking for you.
2. Create an Essentials Box
Pack a small box with the items you’ll want easy access to as soon as you arrive, like everyday toiletries, a change of clothes, chargers, and any personal comforts that help you settle in quickly. You can also include a few Christmas decorations if you’d like to bring some festive warmth into your new space without having to unpack everything at once.
3. Arrange Utilities
Use the time between booking your apartment and securing the keys to arrange the utilities for moving day. While you set up your own apartment utility accounts as usual, we make sure your apartment is fully functional from day one and feels like home instantly.
When you move into our Dolphin House serviced apartments, we include all utilities, WiFi, and weekly housekeeping as standard, making it one less thing for you to worry about.
4. Arrange Care for Children & Pets
During the chaos of moving, you might find it helpful to arrange childcare or support for pets. It’s a good idea to set up a safe, quiet, and comfortable space in your current home with all that they need until the move is complete.
