Census 2021 shows semi-detached as the most common home type (38%), then flats or maisonettes (28%); detached houses or bungalows come to 20% and terraced to 13%. Most of the housing here is owner-occupied: 73% of households own their home, 17% rent from a private landlord and 10% rent social housing. Around 62% of homes have three or more bedrooms, and 20% have four or more. The median age of residents is 40.

What that means for your loft

Semi-detached homes (38% here) share one party wall and often have a reasonable amount of loft space. That makes them good candidates for raised boarding over the insulation if you want to keep using the loft for storage.

13% of households in Ashford live in a terraced house. Terrace lofts are usually compact, which keeps the amount of material down, but the work is in getting good coverage up to the party walls and into the eaves without blocking ventilation.

Only top-floor flats sit under a loft, and in most blocks the roof space belongs to the freeholder or is managed by a management company or housing association. If you live in one of the 28% of Ashford homes that are flats, check who is responsible for the roof space before arranging work.
