The housing leans towards detached houses and bungalows (30%) and flats and maisonettes (26%), with terraces at 23% and semi-detached houses at 22%. 49% of households own outright, 18% are paying off a mortgage or shared ownership, 16% rent privately and 17% rent from a council or housing association.
What it means for the lofts here
With 22% of households in semis, a common job here is topping up insulation that was laid years ago and adding storage that doesn’t squash it.
About a quarter of homes here are terraced (23%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.
Flats and maisonettes account for 26% of homes here. If yours is on the top floor, the loft above is often shared, and the freeholder or managing agent will need to agree to any work.
49% of households own their home outright, so many people have been in the same house for years. Insulation laid back then was often thinner than what’s suggested today and may have settled since.
