Flats and villas
Converted villas around Boscombe and Westbourne often have a garden flat with its own back door, where a flap may be possible with the freeholder's consent. Purpose-built blocks have fire-rated flat entrance doors.
Bungalows and the seafront
Suburbs have many bungalows and detached homes with cavity walls that suit a wall flap. Near the cliffs, choose a corrosion-resistant, well-sealed flap.

Questions from homeowners in Bournemouth
Can I have a cat flap in a Boscombe garden flat?
Possibly, with the freeholder's consent. The flat's front door in a shared building can't be used.
I rent. Can I have a cat flap?
Only with your landlord's written permission. A flap in a replaceable door panel is often the easiest to agree.
