House

Australia's house is also known as the single-family villa, its main features are: having more rooms and large area, a private swimming pool can be built, and there is enough space for entertainment; And the good natural environment and large per capita housing area make it famous in the world of housing.

The world's top three countries with the largest per capita housing area: Australia 214.89㎡，America 201.77㎡，Canada 181.72㎡

What are the advantages of independent House?

The architectural style is casual. There are nearly 10 architectural styles in Australia, such as Queensland style, Victorian style, gothic style and so on.In addition, you can freely decide to build one-story or two-story as your willingness;

The external courtyard can be designed and decorated according to your personal preference.

The most attractive feature is property rights -- Freehold, the descendants can have "zero" tax inheritance (Australia does not have Estate tax).

 (Note: in Canberra, the capital of Australia, the property rights are generally 99 years, 99 percent of other areas have the permanent property rights. Please search the relevant historical articles of the public official account for specific forms of property rights.

To sum up, a large piece of land, beautiful natural environment, a house, a few people, three or two cars, and maybe pets are the standard equipment of an Australian family.

There are so many merits, while are there any downsides to live in a House? Of course there are: for example, you have to repair and maintain your own large yard, maintain your lawn, make daily pest control, in addition, because Australia stresses the harmonious coexistence of people and nature, then some small insects are very common.

According to the construction materials, house can be roughly divided into: brick house (single/double brick), wooden house and green brick house.

Townhouse

The architectural features of Townhouse are: unified design style, the two-story conjoined building, generally there will be a small garden.

As the name, each house of townhouse is connected to the other, separated by a wall, which is why townhouses usually do not have large courtyards.

Townhouse has relatively high design unity, so outdoor courtyard can't be freely decorated like that of house, but the interior can still be decorated according to one's own preference.

 (Note: most houses in Australia are finely decorated and owners can directly move in)

However, Townhouse is very suitable for young people. As the first home, it does not take much time and energy for you to care for the garden vegetation. It is also the two-story building with 3-4 rooms, and the price is lower than that of house.

Townhouse is usually the brick house.

Apartment

Apartment is a kind of housing type that we are familiar with.

Generally, apartments in Australia are located in areas with good geographical location, or close to public transport facilities, or included in the business circle. The apartments in Australia are different from the residences in China. Many of them are independent buildings, which are part of a project. The enclosed independent residences are relatively rare, for the representative project, please refer to the Waterpoint Residences.

Although the apartment does not have a large yard, it is safer than the house, because every apartment has access control, and outsiders without access control cards cannot enter. In some projects, there will be an extra Security Station to ensure the residents' living safety.

Many apartments are equipped with gyms, pools, spas, party rooms, reception rooms, outdoor barbecues, indoor kitchens, and even private cinemas.

Apartments are generally high-rises, so the privacy will be better, insects are naturally a lot less than that of house. For the view of the harmonious coexistence of people and nature in Australia, I would omit some words here...

In addition to the superior location, convenient transportation and more security, the apartment can provide people with relatively crowded free activity space. With better supporting facilities, the residents also need to pay body corporate fees for using the facilities.

The apartment is the reinforced concrete building.

Unit

Unit is usually a two-story or three- story building with low rise and several units on each floor.

Simply speaking, it's a downsized version of an apartment. Old units do not have elevators, while the new ones may have.

Unit is open to the public with no access control, you can enter the house with a key, which is easy to be stolen.

Generally, the prices of Unit are low, and most of them are single or two-bedroom, which are easy to rent out. Therefore, many investors buy and rent them out to earn rental returns.

Studio, a newly emerging studio in China in the past few years, is usually a combination of bedroom, kitchen and living room. It is an open-plan house with no internal walls.

Studio in Australia was developed together with New York in the 1960s and 1970s. With the progress of the era, more fashionable living elements have been injected into studio, which are increasingly favored by young people.

The Studio offers unparalleled transparency and fluidity with sweeping views of the interiors and more openness. As the above Studio, the design is compact, full, yet warm.

It may be difficult to distinguish the flat and unit.

It doesn't matter. It looks like a Chinese apartment building with several units per building and each unit has several households.

However, the surrounding facilities of the flat are relatively deficient. Of course, the body corporate fee is also relatively low, which is suitable for investment.

A house built separately on a vacant lot is called the Granny Flat. This kind of building is usually connected with a house, or a separate building is built in the courtyard where a house is located.

This type of house is usually built for elderly parents, which is in line with the western tradition of separation, and also allows children to take care of their parents.

In addition, the elderly and children do not affect each other, they can meet their friends, respect privacy and have enough activity space.

This type of house is called garden villa. The most common type of house is the one-in-one-out miniature house on the ground floor, which reduces the height of the townhouse. Some of them are independent small villa, such as the garden villa hotel with private swimming pool in Bali, which is actually a small villa.

Some of the villas are built on plots of land that are attached to several others, separated only by walls, sharing a large courtyard or a separate small courtyard, with fractional ownership.

This kind of house is basically the brick house.

Duplex houses may be smaller in actual floor area than independent houses but larger in area than townhouses, and they are also two separate houses with a single wall.

Of course, the ownership is also independent.

If you are building a duplex on your own land, one house is for yourself and another is for your parents, whether renting or selling is a good investment choice.

Semi house, in short, can be regarded as a "Duplex" of one or one and a half floors. However, with the increasing demands and design innovations of people, the shape of this type of house and "Duplex" has tended to be consistent. And the only difference may be that the floor area and saleable area will be slightly smaller.

Other features are shown as the picture.
