Modern houses in britain

Most people in Britain do not live in flats, they live in houses. A typical house has 2, 3 or 4 bedrooms and a bathroom upstairs. Downstairs there is usually a kitchen, a dining-room and a living-room. A lot of people live in housing estates. There are areas of houses built in the same style, with areas of grass for children to play. Each house has a small garden with a fence or a hedge around it. Most of the houses are semidetached. That means that two houses are built in one and share one wall.

In London and other big cities most people live in flats. Some also have mobile homes or caravans. There are special cities for such caravans, with are actually quite roomy inside and can be very comfortable.

And finally there are council houses. These are houses or flats owned by the state and controlled by the local council. People who are unable to buy or rent accommodation on the private market and have nowhere to live are housed by council and pay a nominal rent.

An estate agent, a solicitor and a surveyor help people to buy houses. The estate agent finds the property and negotiates the price, the solicitor sees to the legal side of things and the surveyor looks over the structure of the building to make sure it is sound.
