These 10 cities in the UK have been named as the most judgemental about property

You may be a house proud homeowner, someone that loves a clean and tidy abode or person that doesn’t tend to compare your own home with that of others. But there are some that do judge on the tidiness, cleanliness and even the price of your home - with some cities being more critical than others. UK’s most judgemental residents Sanctuary Bathrooms surveyed 2,000 people from the UK in order to find out what aspects of people’s home others would judge them on, if people have snooped around, and if anyone has googled the price tag. They revealed which cities in the UK are most judgemental when it comes to our homes. These are the UK cities that are most judgemental about other people’s homes: 1. London Over one-in-five Londoners judge people on the appearance of their home, with over 30 per cent saying that a house can be ‘too clean’. Over half (55 per cent) admitted to googling the price, and nearly one-in-five said they have looked up the price of the house of the person they’re dating. 2.
