Default Re-pot a chili plant - is now a good time?

Hi, is now a good time of the year to repot an indoor chili plant?

It's currently got its second crop of chili peppers which are starting
to turn from green to red.

I need to repot it as it's pot bound in the plastic container it was
given to me in.

Thanks a lot,

Tom

IME they don't seem to come through a British winter even in a heated
greenhouse, low light levels I expect. But no harm in trying, repot now
whilst it's still growing.

They can do. A friend of mine still has the plant I gave him about 3
years ago, and it's cropping well.
