Have a read of this recent thread about completing on a friday:
https://forums.moneysavingexpert.com/discussion/5150438
Doesn't always go to plan unfortunately.
I'd ignore it being on the 13th, it's a date like any other.*Assuming you're in England or Wales.0 -
I know quite a few people who were born on Friday 13th and therefore consider it lucky
We completed on a Friday and had no problems. Saying that, I agree with the OP who suggested doing it on Thursday 12th instead.0 -
I admit to being a bit superstitious and would probably prefer not to move on Friday 13th, but tbh in line with other posters my main thinking would be to avoid a Friday full stop
Our last sale/purchase was just before Christmas and we elected to complete on a Tuesday (16th) for the reasons other posters have stated. Our buyers (and theirs) would have preferred a Friday for work related reasons, but we insisted on moving midweek. That close to Christmas we had all kinds of issues finding a reputable remover with free space - especially as ours was a five day move - whereas we'd assumed midweek would be less busy.
As it turned out our short chain completed by 11am, but that's never guaranteed......Mortgage-free for fourteen years!
