Legal & General Insurance finds DIY is on the out in the UK

New research from Legal & General has revealed that Brits are losing their taste for DIY, preferring a YDI (you do it) approach instead.

It found that 41 per cent of UK residents now prefer to pay someone to do the work around their home for them, at a cost of around £700 billion a year.

The bank's latest Changing Face of British Homes survey also found that Londoners are the most likely to employ people in their homes, particularly cleaners, with 12 per cent of the capital's residents employing someone to do the dusting.

In terms of age group, the under-25s hire the most home help, while the older generation sticks to the DIY ethos.

Ruth Wilkins, head of communications at Legal & General's general insurance business, said: "Although household budgets may be stretched it seems that Brits are moving away from DIY and are now keen on YDI by getting in help for the more traditional jobs around the home."

Last month the bank released a study that suggested people in London are more willing to splash their cash at the moment than people in the north of the UK.
