Link detached or end terrace?

Retired_Mortgage_Adviser

Here are the RICS definitions. IMHO, based on your description, I would classify your property as terraced.

Given Retired_Mortgage_Adviser's list of definitions has only reinforced what I already knew, I would just like to say I despise EAs' BS in describing end-terraced houses as "semi-detached":  If there is more than one property adjoining a semi, it is not a semi; it is an end-of-terrace.  So there, EAs.

Good luck, OP and what the wise on here have said:  If you like it, think it is worth the money and doubt you can do any better, it does not really matter what some EA calls it.  For insurance purposes, I would definitely describe it as terraced/end of terrace as I imagine their concern would be how many other properties would be pulled down and, therefore, their responsibility to pay for, were this one to collapse.  HTH.

I have no idea what you are on about. 2 houses, and only two houses, can be joined together by a garage and be classed as semi-detached. Nothing to do with terraced. A terrace would require 3 or more houses. 
So a "linked" house can be either semi-detached, or terraced, not just terraced.

Call it what you want to call it. It makes no difference to anything in practice. It is what it is.

For semi detached you have to have only two joined together otherwise it is an end of terrace, An end of terrace described as a semi detached is so that the Estate Agent can try to justify more money just like calling a terraced house a link detached.

It only really matters if you are trying to buy a house and don't want to pay more just because of what it is described as.

Interesting. I have always called my house a link detached. It is a two story house with an alleyway one side and attached to a corner bungalow the other side. The bungalow is in turn attached to a row of three houses on the other side. 

I like not having the upstairs attached to anything, quiet bedrooms, and the side attached to the bungalow is toilet, cupboard, stairs and kitchen.
Either way it's what you like rather than terminology. When we sell I imagine it will be classed as a link detached by any EA, there are lots like this on the estate I live on an have never seen them called end terrace.
