So, wait, you were working in an office. Then COVID and remote work. Then fully remote. Then they move the office. Then they demand that people now return to the office?
That is constructive dismissal right there, unless you have a mobility clause in your contract. Even if you do, you could make an argument that it’s constructive if the mobility clause hasn’t been exercised before.
Seek legal rep. IMHO, IANAL, this is an offer of redundancy if I ever saw one.

I was never working in an office, I joined during covid - which means I have been there for 5 years working remotely the entire time.
The new role is better pay and a fairly pleasant commute, 25 min bike ride to work along an old railway is cheaper than a gym membership.
