NEW RE S EARCH RE F L ECT S HOME -WORK ING IMPACT ON HOUS ING MARK E T


46


How is what we want from our homes changing? Before the pandemic, many people who responded to our survey wanted to be able to work from home more often than they did; now homeworking, commuting and how we use our space at home and at work are key questions which many are trying to answer.


It is increasingly predicted that the shift to working from home will become permanent to some extent.


We already see this shift reflected in what people are looking for from their homes.


According to data from property firm Rightmove, nearly half of renters (49%) and over a third of buyers (39%) currently in the market say lockdown has changed what they’re looking for in their next home.


The top six attributes both buyers and renters want from their new home include more space, a better home workspace, a garden or access to green space, and access to parking or a garage. As a reflection of this shift, flats are no longer in the top five most wanted property types.


Before the pandemic, our survey found that people thought the LIVE24-SEVEN.COM


perfect length for a commute was less than 15 minutes (against a typical average commute time of 35 minutes).


After lockdown, commuting time appears to be less of an issue, according to Rightmove – perhaps because people no longer see it as part of their day-to-day life.


This demonstrates how the pandemic has caused a seismic shift in our ways of living and working.
