Housing

Houses can be rented unfurnished, semi-furnished or furnished.

It is normally the tenant's responsibility to pay Council Tax so factor this into your budget.

There are four main styles of houses:
 * detached - a free standing house
 * semi-detached - a house joined to another house
 * terraced - a house that is in a row of houses
 * flat - a house in a large building. Known as apartments in the USA.
