Title: A Swimming Pool Question and an Apartment Question.
Post by: BernieTeyze on April 01, 2013, 14:14:00 PM

Please can someone tell me the difference, if any, between a communal pool and a shared pool advertised in property for sale.

What is the difference in an apartment and a duplex apartment and a house or a villa?

Sorry for being so thick ;D : :) ???

Hmmm

A shared pool is what I used to write for a pool shared by two properties (like semis), a communal pool is one on a complex of a number of apartments/villas.

An apartment is one floor, a duplex is over two floors (normally highest floor and roof space in Calis).

The difference between a house and a villa is the most difficult one. Not anything definite in my opinion.

Thankyou scunner I was getting really confused,especially when I read the duplex villa!  Are there any recommended sites to look for property.

our Calis villa is a semi detached duplex . on 2 floors rather like a conventional semi in the UK.  A triplex has 3 floors. Hope this helps.

I always though Duplexs were for blocks of apartments (ie it has another apartment(s) above or below it and the duplex itself is over 2 floors

What you described is a semi villa.....but then again...what do I know

my tapu says duplex.  I worked in construction in the UK for many years and got to know all the estate agents jargon. we used to call a duplex [ 2 floors] a maisonette . But that was before we sexed things up haha. Our own UK property is a bungalow and I dont know if the name exists in Turkey, I rather think it would just be called a villa or a house . The duplex distinquishes it from a 1 floor dwelling.

You can sex up a one floor apartment too these days. I have seen them called 'simplex'. Total nonsense of course.

Not so nonsense in engineering terms you can get chain (bike type chain) in simplex, duplex and triplex, this determines the width of the chain as 1, 2 or 3 rows across.
I will now remove my anorak   ;)
