A YouGov/Greenpeace survey found many Londoners lost hours of sleep during June’s heatwave as nights stayed above 20C, with homes and workplaces often uncomfortably hot and travel disrupted.
This gives Rightmove a chance to comment on how overheating homes and poor cooling affect living conditions and property choices in London, relevant to buyers, renters and landlords in the UK.

Why have we flagged this?
Widespread sleep loss and overheating in London homes during the heatwave speaks directly to housing comfort and insulation issues — you could comment with data on how search and listing trends reflect climate-related buyer/renter priorities (e.g. demand for cooler properties, outdoor space, or air‑conditioning) and advise on property adaptation needs.
