Converted houses

Ground-floor flats in converted Victorian and Edwardian houses often have the garden, and a flap in the back door or a replacement glass panel can work well, subject to the lease. Upper flats rarely have a suitable route outside.

Terraces and semis

Whole houses in areas such as Hanwell, Northfields and Greenford usually have a back door that suits a flap. Interwar semis further west typically have cavity walls, so a wall flap is often possible.
