    I think it'll be one of those "4 houses in a square" types, where you have two outside walls on a corner - and the other 3 houses have the same, so you're joined to two different neighbours. You're all in a square.

    It probably also has regional variations, so the term will mean slightly differnt things across the country.

    When I've heard the term "quasi-semi" before, it has simply meant an end-of-terrace.

    It's a half excited hunch-back!!




    I think it's an end terrace which in effect resembles a semi-detached.

    Terraced.

    And I'll say it again, just to get the right amount of characters...

    Terraced.

    My father-in-law lives in a link-detached; you should have seen his face when I called it a semi.

    Quasi-Semi could mean that the EA got just a little turned on at the sight of the property.

    Jeez. It basically means it's not a semi-detached property. LOL.

    It's EA BS to big up the property.

    Perhaps it's like mine... looks like a semi from the front as only attached on the left, but actually is also attached at the back too! We're a block of four houses with one on each corner, if that makes sense.
    saving up another deposit as we've lost all our equity.
    We're 29% of the way there...

    I'd have called it a terrace!

    My house is technically detached but I think estate agents would feel they were stretching things actually calling it that. There's a one inch gap on one side and a four inch gap on the other!
