02 Semi- detached/town house: Is a house, which is attached to another but with its own facilities and a separate entrance.
03 Apartments/flat: Is a self-contained living premise in a building with one or more floors. All apartments or flats in the building will have a common entrance.
04 Guest flat: Is a self-contained, separated living premise in the same compound as a detached house, and usually on outhouse of the detached house.
05 Part Commercial or Industrial or Business: These are living premises, which are also used for commercial or industrial purposes. A housing unit, which is partly used as a bottle store or a supermarket, or a workshop, will come under this category.
