Data analysis from the property website Rightmove has found that London is once again the most searched-for location on the website, and the majority (58%) of people living there are looking to stay rather than to leave.
This is a a reverse from five years ago, when in the early months of Covid lockdowns, would-be house buyers were looking for a move to coastal and rural areas as a bigger garden, access to nature and more room for home working became the priorities.
However now many companies require staff to be more present in the office and some who moved out of the city have experienced buyers remorse.
