What the hell do these jargon terms mean?

VH

I am looking around (online) for a better quote on my house insurance.

On some websites I cannot find a description to match my house. Could anyone tell me what the following terms mean please?

Quasi-Semi
Link Semi-detached
Link Detached

My house is an end terrace but there is no description to match it, I would rather not put it down as semi-detached as no doubt this will increase the insurance cost!

Thanks!

Quasi-Semi - no idea
Link Semi-detached - semi detached house with a garage on the side which is then attached to a further house
Link Detached - a detached property with a garage on the side which is conect to another property

how about "linked halls"?

An end terrace house is just classed as a terraced house. It's not a semi detached. (semi's are those that are built in blocks of 2 houses)

Thanks for the advice people.

I did a bit of hunting around on Estate Agent websites and all the 'quasi-semi detached' houses I can find photos of look suspiciously like end terraces to me.

I am going to call one of the Estate Agents in question tomorrow so they can explain what it means.

Let you know what happens!

Called an Estate Agent today.

Quasi-Semi Detached = a house which is in a row of 4 connected houses. The 4 houses are not connected either side to anything else.

e.g (H indicates a house)

HHHHHH HHHH HHHHHHHH HH

The houses in black are terraced. Those in green are Semi-Detached. Those in red are Quasi-Semi Detached. Apparently all the 4 houses are classed as this, regardless of which position they occupy in the 4.
