Remote Working Decline Reshapes Britain’s Housing Market
Remote working trends are shifting, and their decline is reshaping the UK’s housing market. With more employees returning to the office, demand for urban properties is increasing, reversing previous trends where people moved to rural and suburban areas. This shift is driving up rents in cities, altering buyer demand, and putting pressure on housing affordability. Rental competition in major cities is intensifying, and commuter towns are gaining popularity as workers seek to balance affordability with proximity to workplaces. As 2025 unfolds, the housing market will continue to adjust to these changing work patterns, affecting both renters and buyers.
