Planning your move in time for the holidays is easier with homes already built. Without the wait for building to complete, you can get settled and make the most of the festive season in your new surroundings.
Several housing schemes across the North-West offer homes that are available for immediate occupation, allowing you to complete your purchase before the end of the year. Move quickly to reserve your chosen plot and begin preparing for a cosy Christmas in your new property.
Why Move Before Christmas?
Moving before the festive season brings both practical and personal advantages. Buying a finished property means you avoid construction-related delays, so you can plan confidently into your new space.
Spending the holidays in a freshly built home means you benefit from updated features, energy-efficient systems and a clean, uncluttered canvas to make your own.

Costs and Support
Buying before Christmas doesn’t have to mean added stress or cost. Some housebuilders provide support such as property swap schemes, deposit contributions, or moving packages.
Meeting with a mortgage broker and instructing a solicitor early in the process can prevent delays and make the move less stressful.
Making the Transition Easy
Planning ahead is crucial to moving before the holidays. Confirm your moving date as early as possible, and arrange transport services well in advance, as December is a peak time for movers.
Notify your energy suppliers, broadband provider, and banks of your new address in good time. Clearly labelled boxes will make the first few days easier, so you can focus on seasonal celebrations rather than dealing with chaos.
