Moving house is one of life’s biggest logistical challenges, and in today’s UK property market, flexibility isn’t just a convenience, it’s a necessity.
With completion dates falling through, chains collapsing at the last minute, and delays happening right up to the day before exchange, more and more homeowners are finding themselves scrambling to rearrange removal plans , often with nowhere to turn. That’s where D&G Moves Removals steps in, Yorkshire’s go-to partner for Same Day / Short Notice Home Removals.
Why Same Day / Short Notice Moves Are Happening More Often in the UK
The UK property market can be unpredictable, even when everything seems on track.
- Nearly 29% of UK property sales fell through before completion in 2024, according to industry data, meaning almost three in ten deals collapse before you get the keys. Read more here – Quick Move Now
- Recent figures show over 40% of property sales fell through before completion in Q2 2025, up from earlier in the year, with mortgage issues being the biggest cause. Read more here – estateagentnetworking.co.uk
- Long chains and slow conveyancing frequently push dates back or create last-minute changes right up until the day before completion. Many homeowners find themselves trying to rebook on short notice, and it’s no longer rare.
Simply put: moves that once seemed planned months in advance are now shifting at the last minute, and you need a removals company that can move just as fast.
D&G Moves: We Don’t Just Say We’re Flexible, We Prove It
At D&G Moves Removals, we’ve built our reputation on handling moves that others can’t — including crisis-level, Same Day / Short Notice Home Removals in Yorkshire.
Here’s how we stand out:
✅ No Deposit Required
Planning changes? No problem. We don’t charge deposits — so if your solicitor, estate agent or lender suddenly reshuffles your date, we work with you rather than holding you to a fee.
✅ No Cancellation Fees
If your purchase falls through at the last minute, you shouldn’t be penalised for it. We don’t charge cancellation fees — and we often see customers come back to us when they rebook their move.
✅ No Waiting Charges
Whether your keys are delayed by a few minutes or a few hours, we don’t penalise you for it. Our teams are happy to sit quietly outside your new property and wait — because we know how unpredictable completion days can be.
✅ Ready to Go the Moment You Get Your Keys
As soon as your keys exchange hands, we’re on hand and ready to crack on — wherever you’re moving to in Yorkshire and beyond.
Last Minute Moves? We’ve Done Plenty
In November alone, we completed 92 moves, and many of them were last-minute bookings that competitors simply couldn’t handle. While others turned jobs away or tacked on extra fees, we got it done, and our customers told us all about it in glowing Google reviews. See one below…
Absolutely fantastic service! Got me moved at short notice. On moving day the team arrived early, they were cheerful, polite & good natured. Nothing was too much trouble. They did a fantastic job at a good price. I would book D&G again without hesitation! Thank you!

Clients regularly mention how we handled sudden date shifts, how calm and professional our teams were under pressure, and how we made a stressful situation feel smooth and manageable.
That’s the D&G difference.
More Than Just Moving Day
We know that a removal isn’t just about loading a van. In short-notice situations, you need support every step of the way:
📦 Packing Service — We can come the day before your move loaded up with boxes, tape, and bubble wrap. We’ll help pack your belongings so you don’t have to juggle it yourself.
📦 Storage Solutions — If your new home isn’t ready yet, we’ll look after your items in secure storage. No stress, no extra running around.
Friday Moves — Peak Demand, Peak Expertise
Fridays are still the most popular day to complete a move — often driven by solicitors and lenders pushing for end-of-week completions. But if you can aim for Monday–Thursday, we can be even more flexible with slot availability, and help ensure you get exactly what you need, when you need it.
