Detached property:

There are three different property types in the housing market. The largest and most influential segment is the detached market, which can be defined as a unit (home) that is not attached to any other unit. Here’s an example of this kind of property:

Attached property: 

The attached segment of the housing market is extremely diverse. There are two different kinds of property in this segment (semi-detached and row) and lots of different product options within both types.
