I’ve been asked to justify a higher wage in a work from home role..

I currently work for a law firm in the UK and like many, this pandemic has opened my eyes to the value of working from home and having a better work/life balance. It has also thrown up many new job opportunities in my industry for the same role at a higher wage and better prospects but due to the higher wage, one question I have been asked in an interview is how can they justify offering me a higher wage when it will be a WFH role?.. My first answer was well you’re actually saving money but also my wage should justify my work ethic, ability and professionalism not the environment I operate in so I just wanted to ask for this subs thoughts and answers!
