actually in Italy garages sometimes get their own addresses if they have a separate gate. A gate can also have it's own housenumber without leading to anything, like here: https://www.google.it/maps/@41.83254,12.477383,3a,75y,283h,85.62t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1seGMH98B7GPT129x3i2PgaQ!2e0!6m1!1e1 this is number 6, leading to the garden of the house of which all actual housenumbers are 8 and the entrance is here: https://www.google.it/maps/@41.832353,12.477295,3a,75y,300.31h,96.95t/data=!3m4!1e1!3m2!1sQZDm_XBQAUDVxW8KkF2YGg!2e0!6m1!1e1 > In multi-occupancy buildings (apartments, shared offices etc) each > separately registered unit needs its own address (in order to ensure post > etc is directed to the right party); > no, you can have all post boxes at one spot and people will go there to retrieve their mail. No need for distinct addresses (because typically you will also write a name, not just an address). It can also be different (several addresses), but it really depends on the local situation. Or maybe you are referring to the UK only? cheers, Martin
