I live in the UK - very few places in London will have the space for a separate home office + space for family. It will get incredibly expensive if we all need to buy more space (and I'm not having my office setup in my living room forever).

But you don't need to live in London anymore, due to work from home? So that's not a problem.
So instead of agreeing that there are extra costs to the employees working from home, you argue that they should move to a cheaper city in order to afford a home office. That's definitely... an option. But consider that this is a tradeoff, given that people choose to live in big cities for other reasons than being close to work
Work was the reason most people moved to london in the first place
Maybe the employees will be able to buy/lease space in (now emptied out) office buildings!
