BRIGHTON is the city most at risk from climate change in the UK - with parts expected to be underwater by 2100, according to a new study. The research scored 15 cities based on eight risk factors linked to climate change, including expected temperature rise, storm damage and rainfall levels. Out of maximum score of eight, Brighton scored 6.2 – placing it at the top spot as the most vulnerable city, above Belfast, Cardiff, Exeter and London in the top five. Brighton scored highly for being at risk of storm damage and an expected temperature rise, according to the research by online estate agents Emoov.
This was followed by Belfast and Cardiff, both scoring 5.1.
Over 4 in 5 (85)% Brits say they are concerned about climate change, with more than half (52%) admitting to being ‘very concerned’.
Overheating and humidity, storm damage and an expected temperature rise were noted as the top negative impacts on properties.
Looking to the Energy Performance Certificates (EPC’s) of homes, Bungalows prove to be the most efficient type of housing.
Just under two-thirds (59.8%) of bungalows in the UK have an EPC rating between A-C. That’s the highest of any type of housing.
Houses come in second, with two fifths (41.3%) of structures having a good or very good EPC rating (EPC A-C) followed by just over a third (31.42%) of flats.
Britons are readying themselves for the new norm of home working, with more sheds, garages and summerhouses likely to be transformed into offices in the near future.
A growing number of people are planning to set up designated rooms or workspaces within or outside their homes, according to research by Aviva.
Close to half of all those currently employed in the UK were at least partially working from home in April 2020, ONS data revealed.
One in five people said they found working from home more stressful. Common reasons included not having a suitable space to work from, competing for space with other people and finding it too noisy at home.
