thank you for that info ...

a few more related questions if i may ...

what are the differences between: a flat, apartment, and unit?


My interpretation - which may not be standard real estate agent English
......(Truth ....def: not known in real estate terminology)

Flat is either a small self contained building in the back yard of a house
eg "granny flat" or a dwelling in a low rise building, eg a flat in a
three
storey converted house. Often big old houses converted to have multiple
dwellings.

Apartment is an up market (in the seller's view) flat, but is likely to be
in a multi storey high rise building, but recently the estate agents have
been advertising apartments in converted factories, warehouses and old
office buildings so your guess is as good as mine!!

Unit is usually a dwelling in a low rise building, often with common walls
and gardens.

But the usage seems to be totally interchangeable with private sellers and
land lords using whatever they want to get the punters in.
