Working from home?

Working from home?

We take a look at the numbers behind working from home

  • With working from home now necessary for many jobs and industries, post-pandemic households are continuing to revaluate the space they need from their homes.
  • 49% of home buyers feel their property is unsuitable for working from home and 28% have no dedicated workspace or office to work from home (Barratt/Lichfields).
  • 35% of home buyers and sellers rated an office/space to work from home as 'very important' in the 2021 Property Academy Homemoving Trends survey analysed by Dataloft.
  • Housebuilders are trying to service this change in demand. However, planning policy dictating the mix (bedrooms) was based on pre-pandemic demand modelling.
