Homes in Penarth
Penarth had 28,400 residents at the 2021 Census, living in about 13,600 households. Flats or maisonettes make up 36% of homes here; semi-detached account for 25%, terraced 25% and detached houses or bungalows 14%. 68% of households own their home (36% outright, 32% with a mortgage or shared ownership), 22% rent privately and 10% rent from a council or housing association. More than half of homes (58%) have at least three bedrooms. The median age of residents is 42.
What that means for your loft
36% of households here live in flats. A flat usually only has a loft above it on the top floor, and work in a shared roof space needs the agreement of whoever manages the building, so mention this when you enquire.
About a quarter of homes in Penarth are terraced (25%). Small lofts mean smaller jobs, but storage often ends up on the insulation in a tight space, so many terrace jobs combine a top-up with a small area of raised boarding.
With 22% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Penarth should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.

I live in a top-floor flat. Can I insulate the loft above me?
Usually only with the agreement of whoever owns or manages the roof space, often the freeholder or a management company. Check that first, then mention it when you enquire.
