When to move?

[Quirkyme]

Hiya,

So I start a new role soon and looking to relocate to be closer for what the job entails.

But I'm not sure as to when.

My situation is I'm on a current rolling contract - so just give a month's notice when ready.

My options are either end of Dec or towards end of Jan.

In December I have 9-14th (away on holiday) and the last two weeks of Dec off (in which I'm away 23rd-27th), - for these reasons, I'm not took keen to move in December as it'll be a busy month, and I was aiming to rest of the week when back on my holiday on the 27th.

However, I could move on Friday the 31st, this gives me about 3 days of solid focus on moving (although I likely would have started before) when I return from my final Dec holiday.

OR my other option is to move towards the end of Jan - I'm thinking the 21st - no holidays planned, could book a week or a few days off, but just means I'll be using new leave as my annual leave year runs from Jan to Jan. Although this is not a biggie.

Not sure which?

Are you renting?
Buying ?
Sleeping at a friend's?
Stopping in a hotel or an Air BnB ?

Have you got furniture etc to move, or just clothes etc ?
Do you have to give references etc to find a new place?

Do you know the new area?

How far is your commute if you don't move ?

So many things that will effect the decision......

Assuming you are renting and the months rolling notice is for the house not the job.

When do you start the new job and can you get there from where you live currently.

I would not want to move In late December but it depends if you are moving just you or a family.

January would be good to be in for feb an new start in the spring. Have you found a new place yet?
