Comparison site Uswitch<\/a> has today published a new Remote Working Index (RWI), which ranks 104 of the United Kingdom’s biggest towns and cities by seven metrics to help identify the best places for people who have to work from home (access to superfast broadband, crime rate, green spaces, property prices etc.).<\/p>\n

Remote working is of course nothing new to modern business culture, although it’s recently become much more common since the COVID-19<\/strong> crisis began and many expect that trend to continue (i.e. after businesses have adapted and seen the benefits). Indeed 19% want to spend more time working from home once the pandemic is over and one in six employees (16%) want to work from home full time when life returns to normal.<\/p>\n

NOTE:<\/strong> The responses come from an Opinium survey of 2,003 UK adults, conducted in October 2020.<\/div>\n

The new index has sought to capitalise on this change by creating a table that weights 7 categories according to how the survey respondents valued them: Some 53% said house prices were the more important consideration, while 45% said green spaces, 43% said crime rates, 34% said broadband speeds, 28% said air quality, 20% pointed to the amount of local doctors and 16% to the quality of local schools.<\/p>\n

Arguably this sounds more like a list of the best places to live in general than for home working, but such things tend to represent two sides of the same coin, although we’d still argue that having access to a fast broadband ISP connection should be higher on that ladder of considerations.<\/p>\n

Nevertheless, many people (17%) say they’ve either already moved or are planning to relocate due to the benefits of working from home, with a lot of those people intending to move out from dense urban areas and into smaller towns and villages. As such the new index might come in handy.<\/p>\n

Results of the Remote Working Index<\/strong><\/span><\/h3>\n

Overall, the index claims that Harrogate<\/strong> in Yorkshire is one of the UK’s best places to work from home, thanks to a good balance of superfast broadband, good schools, low crime rates and acres of green space on its doorstep. Meanwhile Ipswich<\/strong> sits at the bottom of the pack, which is despite the fact that it seems to have access to good broadband speeds, but they fall down in other areas.<\/p>\n

We should point out that the data for broadband speeds in this study comes from Ofcom<\/a>’s Connected Nations 2019 report, which means that the information is over a year old. Uswitch also doesn’t clarify whether their averages are based on estimated line speeds from existing connections or the actual network availability of faster services (the latter is likely to be more important for movers).<\/p>\n

Sadly, the full index is too big to paste, so we’ve cut out the columns for air quality, doctors, Ofsted ratings and number of cafes in order to fit it in.<\/p>\n
