The housing leans towards terraces (27%) and flats and maisonettes (27%), with semi-detached houses at 25% and detached houses and bungalows at 21%. 27% of households own outright, 25% are paying off a mortgage or shared ownership, 30% rent privately and 18% rent from a council or housing association.
What it means for the lofts here
With 25% 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 (27%). 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 27% 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.
Private renting is common in Newmarket (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.

What are most homes in Newmarket like?
The most common are terraced houses (27% of households at the 2021 Census), followed by flats at 27%.
I’m in a village outside Newmarket. Can I still ask?
How can I tell if mine is too thin?
If you can see the tops of the joists, it probably is.
Can I insulate the loft above my top-floor flat?
Usually only with the freeholder’s or managing agent’s agreement. Check your lease, then let us know when you get in touch.
Can I keep my loft storage?
Yes. A floor raised on legs above the insulation keeps the storage without squashing the insulation.
Does sheep’s wool insulate as well as mineral wool?
About as well, depth for depth. People choose it because it’s pleasant to handle and copes well with damp.
