Six common housing types in Britain
Townhouse

/kloc-During the 9th century, 1930- 1950, many cities in Britain built dense townhouses, including London. These townhouses are usually connected by several sets of two-story or three-story villas with the same structure. Each villa is generally 3-4 rooms, 1 hall, 1 kitchen and 2 bathrooms, with an area of about 100 ~ 130 square meters, which is especially favored by many families who need to work in urban areas. Similar to the classical apartments of the same period, this kind of old row houses also have the precious characteristics of classical style.

The advantage of a townhouse is that it has a back garden. Although it may not be too big (generally about 10~ 15 meters long), outdoor space is extremely precious and attractive in London where land is scarce. Townhouses generally have permanent property rights. Many townhouses have been expanded, usually the back wall of the villa is expanded (the area of the back garden is relatively reduced) or the roof is rebuilt. Roof renovation is very common, usually adding 1 room and 1 bathroom to the villa, which greatly increases the value of the property itself.

The disadvantage of townhouses is that there is usually no garage for parking, and parking needs to be parked on the roadside in front of the door. Noise and thermal insulation coefficient may be slightly worse than the same modern villa.

Of course, there are also new townhouses for sale in the market, but there are few such houses, because most real estate developers focus on building modern apartments in the city in the nearest apartments.

"soup mouse"

"Tang Rat" is a transliteration of townhouse, also called "Tang House", which belongs to a kind of townhouse. It can be roughly divided into classical (usually very magnificent buildings) and modern (starting from 1970). Classical Tom Rat is mostly located in the center of London (equivalent to the first ring of Beijing), covering an area of 250~450 square meters. The prime location and luxurious area will inevitably lead to the high price of such villas.

The main difference between "Tom Mouse" and other townhouses is that it has many floors, usually 3-5 floors, so it has a large use space. Generally every house has its own garden and garage.

In modern times, "soup mouse" is more sought after, mainly because the villa has excellent warm and sound insulation effects, a variety of bathroom facilities and sufficient parking spaces. Tom rat can bring high rental returns, not only for the whole house, but also for the room. Disadvantages include the need to go up and down stairs frequently.

Single family villas

Almost every British resident dreams of owning his own real single-family villa, that is, a single-family villa. It is an independent space with high privacy, and there are spacious courtyards and gardens around the house. These villas vary in size. Because this kind of house covers a large area, most of them are built in areas with relatively cheap land, such as the edge of the city or the suburbs of the city, but they are rare in the city center. Due to different regions, the prices of single-family villas vary greatly. Compared with townhouses in the same area, the price of single-family villas may be 25%~50% higher.

Semi-independent villa

This kind of villa generally divides a single-family villa into two independent houses with a shared wall in the middle. Therefore, it is slightly inferior to a single-family villa, but it is much superior to a townhouse. Of course, the price is in the middle. Each house generally has its own private garage and independent garden.

villa

This kind of room usually has only one floor, because all rooms are on the same floor and there is no need to go up and down stairs, so it has become the first choice for the elderly. Relevant data show that the rental return rate of bungalows and villas is the highest among all housing types, with an average of 7.2%.
