One photo a day challenge (53/365) all year long

I think I should share with you guys that I have been shopping for my first house. It's very exciting and also very exhausting. Remember the picture that I shared that was my friend's house? That actually an area that I'm considering buying. So please be generous with your upvotes 😉.
Here's a picture of the one I'm currently negotiating

I'm not very sure if this is the one but I love it and I might get it. I could use down payment help too so if you are kind enough I would appreciate any contributions.
Thanks again guys good night

Thanks sis. i think i will get this one. Inspection will be next week.

Is that what they'd call a terraced house in the UK? I believe they call terraced houses those houses that might or might not share side walls and are in the latter case separated by a very small space or nothing and have backyards of their own. What is that type of home called in the US? The overall style looks very British. That architectural style is nowhere to be found in Finland.

It's called a townhouse here. There are some condominiums built like that too. Condominiums give the owner full control of the inside of the house(decorations and updates) while another company, that they pay, is fully responsible for updating and caring for the exterior of their house. It's similar to an apartment style living.
Townhouses mostly have lower exterior maintenance fees called HOA(home owner association) fees. I believe some single-family homes also pay HOA and prices vary.

Townhouse, of course.

That condominium system sounds similar to what we have here. Here, the owners of condos do not directly own their homes. Instead, they own shares of a corporation (called a housing corporation, a special type of corporation) that entitle them to control a certain apartment. Housing corporations are governed like any corporation with annual shareholders' meetings where a board is elected. The board supervises a management company hired to take care of the day-to-day technical stuff and to do the accounting. Each housing corporation is typically assigned a single housing manager by the management company. Sometimes large ones have a technical specialist manage technical issues.

It is not uncommon for some housing corporations to own groups of buildings some of which are detached houses. But usually detached houses are separate unincorporated properties. You could set up a corporation for ownership of your home. That way, if you sold it, the buyer would only have to pay a stamp tax half the amount as when buying a property. But you'd have accounting obligation and you'd have to produce minutes of compulsory annual shareholders' meetings on demand. Sometimes you see properties with a single detached house built on them listed that are incorporated. Typically, those are upscale properties where significant sums of money can be saved by having lower stamp tax and whose owners probably are business people used to careful money management.

Before reading the post. I liked the picture. After reading the post. I felt you had a good taste and foresight. Its a beautiful house. I will more than happy if you buy it. In btw: i like made ladies. My upvotes are tiny though 😞😏 still fairly tiny after i wait for recharge, but better.
