Residential Real Estate

The legal arrangement for the right to occupy a dwelling is known as the housing tenure. Types of housing tenure include owner occupancy, Tenancy, housing cooperative, condominiums (individually parceled properties in a single building), public housing, squatting, and co-housing.

Residences can be classified by if and how they are connected to neighboring residences and land. Different types of housing tenure can be used for the same physical type. For example, connected residents might be owned by a single entity and leased out, or owned separately with an agreement covering the relationship between units and common areas and concerns.

Major physical categories in North America and Europe include:

* Attached / multi-unit dwellings
o Apartment ("flat" outside North America) - An individual unit in a multi-unit building. The boundaries of the apartment are generally defined by a perimeter of locked or lockable doors. Often seen in multi-story apartment buildings.
o Multi-family house - Often seen in multi-story detached buildings, where each floor is a separate apartment or unit.
o Terraced house (a.k.a. townhouse or rowhouse) - A number of single or multi-unit buildings in a continuous row with shared walls and no intervening space.
o Condominium - Building or complex, similar to apartments, owned by individuals. Common grounds are owned and shared jointly. There are townhouse or rowhouse style condominiums as well.
* Semi-detached dwellings
o Duplex - Two units with one shared wall.
* Single-family detached home
* Portable dwellings
o Mobile homes - Potentially a full-time residence which can be (might not in practice be) movable on wheels.
o Houseboats - A floating home
o Tents - Usually very temporary, with roof and walls consisting only of fabric-like material.

The size of an apartment or house can be described in square feet or meters. In the United States this includes the area of "living space", excluding the garage and other non-living spaces. The "square meters" figure of a house in Europe reports the area of the walls enclosing the home, and thus includes any attached garage and non-living spaces.

It can also be described more roughly by the number of rooms. A studio apartment has a single bedroom with no living room (possibly a separate kitchen). A one-bedroom apartment has a living or dining room, separate from the bedroom. Two bedroom, three bedroom, and larger units are also common. (A bedroom is defined as a room with a closet for clothes storage.)

Sri Lanka Villas - Dalip House

Location

Situated just 11km from Galle is Dalip House, a five bed roomed beach villa with a wide beach frontage. Here, you are close enough to enjoy the sites, shopping and social scene of Galle, yet far enough away to escape and be by yourselves when you want. The journey from Colombo’s international airport is approximately 3.5 hours.

Description

A newly built villa with a Balinese influence. Polished stone flooring encourages cool bare foot living. Timber ceilings and shutters channel the view out over the garden towards the Indian Ocean and a wide beach frontage. The beach itself is huge and devoid of basting tourists. The waves are challenging and to be shown respect. Fishermen perch on their stilts just to the right of the private beach gate. Dalip House can accommodate 6 adults and 4 children.

Accommodation

Dalip House has three double rooms each in separate pavilions and is located at the front of the villa allowing you to gaze out to sea whilst still in bed. There is a children’s pavilion with a twin room, single room and small sitting area. All doubles have an ensuite bathroom with h/w shower. The children's wing shares a bathroom with shower.

Facilities

A separate pavilion centrally located with huge 'lie around' seating, gives fabulous views across the garden out to sea. Dining is in the open sided pavilion located by the pool. A fully modern kitchen is the domain of Nuwan the Chef. Recently returned from the UK where he was seconded to specialist caterers, will prepare feasts upon request. There is also a senior houseboy, plus 2 others and a cleaner. A night watchman and gardener make up the full compliment.

Excursions

Koggala Lake with its many islands inhabited with several species of birds, is another wonderful experience. Visit to the historic 17th century Galle Fort, a UNESCO World Heritage Site with narrow streets lined with Dutch and British colonial era buildings which are still in use, sturdy ramparts looking out to sea, the lighthouse, and a growing collection of art galleries and several boutique hotels. There are several temples in the area that are well worth a relaxed visit. For the more sporting, scuba diving can be easily arranged - either for a PADI course or for the qualified there are several good wreck and reef dives nearby. Unawatuna and Mirissa offer several other watersports including sailing, fishing, coastal cruises, river trips, sea kayaking, snorkeling and boating. The game reserve of Yala is, with an early start, a 3-4 hour drive away.

Villas

In front of the house there is an enormous terrace with garden furniture and a view onto the surrounding fields and meadows.

A charming little stone house nestled into the pretty hills in the interior of the Costa Brava.

The two-storey house stands completely alone; there is just one neighbour in a distance of 100m. It was renovated last year and a lot of care went into preserving the original, century old stone walls and the structure of the building. Except for the bedroom and the bathroom, all of the rooms are open-plan and designed without doors, which has resulted in a variety of different living spaces.

Amongst these you'll find a cosy living and dining room with a fireplace and TV as well as an open-plan kitchen (equipped with a washing machine, dishwasher, microwave, coffeemaker, electric kettle, toaster and oven). The bedroom is one the first floor and has a double bed and a bathroom with a shower. The first floor features also another living room with a desk, sofa bed and access to the lovely terrace. On the ground floor there are another 2 sleeping areas - furnished with a sofa-bed and a single bed - tucked behind a curtain.



We do not recommend this house for families with small childen since the old stone staircase doesn't have a handrail.

30 km from the beach!

Location: Pontós

The house is about 4km from Pontós, a pleasant little village with a public swimming pool. You can find restaurants and shops in nearby Báscara, about 5km from the house. The river Fluvià is also not far. The walk to the river is beautiful and in the summer you can conclude it with a refreshing dip in the water.

Furthermore, Figueres - home to the famous Dalí Museum - is just 10km from the house, and here you will find all necessary services and amenities. The surroundings are full of interesting places to visit, including the provincial capital Girona (28 km), Banyoles (18 km), the charming town of Besalú (18 km) and Olot (36 km). The most beautiful beaches along the Costa Brava are just 30km away - Roses, Ampuriabrava, L'Escala etc. The nearest golf course, Torremirona, is in Navata (4,5 km). The only conceivable problem you might encounter is feeling so at home here that you'll never want to get out of the house.

Real Estate

Real estate is a legal term that encompasses land along with anything permanently affixed to the land, such as buildings, specifically property that is stationary, or fixed in location. Real estate law is the body of regulations and legal codes which pertain to such matters under a particular jurisdiction. Real estate is often considered synonymous with real property (also sometimes called realty), in contrast with personal property (also sometimes called chattel or personalty under chattel law or personal property law).

However, in some situations the term "real estate" refers to the land and fixtures together, as distinguished from "real property," referring to ownership rights of the land itself.

The terms real estate and real property are used primarily in common law, while civil law jurisdictions refer instead to immovable property.

Business sector

With the development of private property ownership, real estate has become a major area of business. Purchasing real estate requires a significant investment, and each parcel of land has unique characteristics, so the real estate industry has evolved into several distinct fields. Specialists are often called on to valuate real estate and facilitate transactions. Some kinds of real estate businesses include:

* Appraisal: Professional valuation services
* Brokerages: A fee charged by the mediator who facilitates a real estate transaction between the two parties.
* Development: Improving land for use by adding or replacing buildings
* Property management: Managing a property for its owner(s)
* Real estate marketing: Managing the sales side of the property business
* Real estate investing: Managing the investment of real estate
* Relocation services: Relocating people or business to a different country
* Corporate Real Estate: Managing the real estate held by a corporation to support its core business—unlike managing the real estate held by an investor to generate income

Within each field, a business may specialize in a particular type of real estate, such as residential, commercial, or industrial property. In addition, almost all construction business effectively has a connection to real estate.

"Internet Real Estate" is a term coined by the internet investment community relating to ownership of domain names and the similarities between high quality internet domain names and real-world, prime real estate.
