How to Write a Maisonette Description

A maisonette offers house-like living at flat-like prices — its own front door and two floors. Many buyers don't know what one is, so clarity sells.

What buyers care about in a maisonette

  • The own-front-door, no-communal-corridor advantage
  • Two-floor layout — bedrooms separated from living space
  • Any private garden, share of garden or allocated parking
  • Lease terms stated plainly (length, service charge, ground rent)

Common mistakes to avoid

  • Calling it a flat and losing the buyers searching for exactly this
  • Omitting which floors it occupies and who lives above or below
  • Hiding lease detail — material information applies in full

The fact-first rule

Whatever the property type, every claim in your description must be true and verifiable. Under the Digital Markets, Competition and Consumers Act 2024 the publishing agent is responsible for accuracy, so write from the genuine details of the maisonette and leave out anything you haven't confirmed.
