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.

Terraced houses make up 17% of homes here. Their lofts tend to be smaller and are often reached through a narrow hatch on the landing, so access is one of the first things we look at. The insulation needs to meet the party walls on each side with no gaps.

With 21% of households in private rented homes, tenants in Walton-on-Thames should talk to their landlord about insulation. Most improvements to the building are the landlord’s to arrange.
