What are most homes in Houghton Regis like?

The most common are terraced houses (42% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by semi-detached houses at 33%.

How can I tell if mine is too thin?

If you can see the tops of the joists, it probably is.

I’m in a village outside Houghton Regis. Can I still ask?
