Also called: Gated villa, Villament (villa-style apartment)
A standalone house, usually in a gated community with shared amenities and a residents' association, sold with its plot.
How it works and what to check
Villas combine an independent house with the security and services of a gated project. You own the plot and house, and pay maintenance for common areas.
Check that the villa's plot is shown on the approved layout and that the sale deed conveys the land, not just the building.
