    What Is A Maisonette?

    asked 2 years ago

    Answers


    A maisonette is a flat or apartment in a block that is spread over more than one floor, with its own internal staircase. It can also refer to a flat that has its own front door to the outside, rather than a door in an entrance lobby or landing. More recently, as developers in the UK have tried to fit more, smaller dwellings on each building site, blocks of four living units have been built that are in effect floor flats. Because the two upstairs flats have a separate front door and stairs to reach them, it can be described as a maisonette, which is considered more upmarket.

    I am training for a role in property currently . We have been taught that one of the floors of a maisonette formed of a habitable room must be a portion of a floor shared with another habitable unit? Would this accord with your definition? JP
