Birmingham's housing is comparatively old — large parts of the city were laid out in the Victorian, Edwardian and inter-war periods, so most homes are seventy years or more. In practice you meet one of two ground floors: suspended timber with boards in the older terraces, or a solid concrete slab in the inter-war semis of Hall Green, Kingstanding and Weoley Castle. The first needs levelling; the second needs the damp-proof membrane checked before anything goes down. In the 29 conservation areas — the Jewellery Quarter, Edgbaston, Moseley, Bournville Village among them — original boards cannot simply be lifted and skipped without consent. The new quarters are the opposite case: Smithfield, Perry Barr and Icknield Port Loop are screed with underfloor heating, where engineered wood is the right call and solid is not.
At the 2021 census, 25.4% of households in Birmingham lived in a flat, maisonette or apartment and 74.5% in a house or bungalow — 27.8% of all households in a terraced house.
