A large number of office buildings are vacant, and “remote office” heavy creation of the real estate industry

The latest real estate data shows that the vacant area of the office building in central London is nearly 3 million square meters. Since the end of 2019, the vacancy rate has increased by 51%. The industry generally believes that this is the direct consequence of the rise of remote office. Currently in the UK alone, there are more than one -seventy -person at home office. Among them, nearly half of the banking employees go to the office only one day every day.

The large -scale vacancy of the office building directly caused a plunge in price, and the plunge caused more vacancy, and eventually formed a vicious circle. Some experts point out that the energy crisis may reverse the situation, and the rise in winter heating costs may force workers to return to the office to reduce family opening. A survey of CNBC shows that 14% of the respondents are willing to increase working hours in the office to reduce living expenditure. This number rose to 23%of young people aged 18 to 24.
