Size and types of properties


Definition of houses, to help avoid confusion, from my limited knowledge, for the most common property definition in terms of size, from smallest to biggest is:
 _   _  _  _
/_\/_\/_\/_\
|1 |2 |3 |4 |
------------
Terrace = Houses that are linked from both sides in a row, like the diagram, from #1 to #4. Some rows may even number in the tens
Terrace (Intermediate terrace) - Also known as linked house in local lingo
Terrace (Corner) as illustrated by house # 1 and #4.

/_\/_\             /_\/_\
|1 |2 |            |3 |4 |

Aerial view
| 3 |  4 |
| 1 |  2 |
Cluster = Houses that is part of a set of 4 where its linked by one of its side as well as the back is back to back with a neighbour
Cluster
Cluster (End lot, normally with a bigger garden area, in this case, depending on the side, it may be considered as an end lot as there are no more
cluster plots neighbouring one end.
Clusters are also marketed by certain developers as Linked Semi-D as they look exactly like Semi-Ds from the front
 _________________________________________________________________

Semi-D
| 1 |  2 |
Two houses joined together one one end whether you are looking from the front or aerial view
Some developers link them back to back instead and call them linked bungalow, aeria view is like
this:
| 1 |
| 2 |
From the front, it really looks like a bungalow but linked back to back
