Residential developers gone back to the drawing board to accommodate the new necessities created by the Covid-19 pandemic
The lockdown has forced all of us to change our plans. The same is true for residential developers, some of which have gone back to the drawing board to accommodate the new necessities created by the Covid-19 pandemic.
One of the long-lasting impacts is on how — and where — we work. A survey by YouGov, commissioned by the e-learning platform Skillcast, shows that over two thirds (68 per cent) of Britons working from home want to continue after the lockdown ends. Research from Deutsche Bank reveals 57 per cent of the financial workers surveyed expect to be working from home between one and three days a week once the pandemic has passed.
"The biggest shift we’ve observed is from people wanting a private workspace in their home," says Nick Whitten, the head of UK living research at JLL, who surveyed people’s housing priorities before and during the global pandemic. "There was already a growing trend of people increasingly working from home. It seems highly likely that Covid-19 has accelerated that trend. Developers are mindful of this, and where possible we expect they will be evaluating floor plans to see if they can amend schemes accordingly."
This finding is echoed by Tim Traynor, at Knight Frank estate agency, who says that post-Covid-19 more people will tend to "strike a better balance" between work and home life.
