What it means for the lofts here
Flats and maisonettes account for 36% 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.
About one in five of homes here are terraced (22%). In a smaller loft, storage tends to end up sitting on the insulation, so a modest raised floor is often worth adding.
Private renting is common in Margate (30% of households). Landlords are responsible for the building, and a warm, well-ventilated loft is one of the simpler improvements to a rented home.
