What Exactly Is A Backsplit Property?
 

Sorry to be dim but is it where a house is attached to another but at the back rather than at the side? :rolleyes:

No its a single house but the front of the house (usually about half the length of it) is at a single level and the rear of the house is higher (usually 2 storeys)

Sidesplits are where the left or right of the house may be 1.5 to 2 storeys and the other part is single storey )

Glossary of house types is here


Here's some examples
Detached (Free Standing): Any house that is completely separated from its neighbours.
Bungalow: Single story house
Backsplit: Multilevel house that appears as a bungalow from the front elevation
Frontsplit: Multilevel house that appears as a two story house in front and a bungalow in the back. It is the opposite of a backsplit and is a rare configuration.
Sidesplit: Multilevel house where the different levels are visible from the front elevation
Link-detached: Adjacent detached properties which do not have a party wall, but which are linked by the garage(s) and so forming a single frontage.
