of households rent privately
England average: 20.5%
Private renting is below average, so most customers are homeowners who can decide for themselves, subject to any planning constraints.
Terraces and family homes
Victorian and Edwardian terraces near the centre, such as the Fleetville and Camp areas, usually have back doors onto gardens that suit a cat flap. Detached and semi-detached homes further out often have a side door or wall option.
Conservation areas
The city centre and many surrounding streets are conservation areas, with listed buildings around the cathedral and Fishpool Street. Front doors facing the street are the most sensitive; rear doors are usually fine.

Questions from homeowners in St Albans
My home is in a conservation area. Can I fit a cat flap?
Usually in a rear door. Listed buildings need consent for original features.
Wall or door for a 1930s semi?
Both work. A cavity wall flap keeps the door intact.
