The terms built-up area, super built-up area, shopping area and carpet area appear again and again for the Indian property buyer. The apartment, which is sold as a spacious apartment of 1500 square meters. Feet, not really 1500 sq. M. Feet if you consider its actual area or carpet area.
Definitions -
1. The carpet area is the actual area you are using. The area on which you can lay the carpet.
2. Built-up area - carpet area + area of walls and canals. About 10% more carpet area. The terrace is considered as half the actual area for calculating the built-up area. Some projects pay for a dry terrace as well as interior rooms.
3. Super built-up / usable area - Built-up area + marking for common areas such as elevators and stairs. Usually 25% more than the built-up area.
Take an example.
This is a small apartment where the area for sale or super built-up area is 892 sq. M. Feet Let's calculate its carpet area, summing up all its rooms -
Room size (feet and inches) The area of the carpet in square meters. feet
Living room 10 & bull; 15 ± -9 "157.5
Dining room 7 * bull; 7 & quot; -8 "53.6
Bedroom 1 11 times -9 × 10 & gt; -9 "126.3
Bedroom 2 11 "-9" x 10 117.5
Toilet 1 8 -6 "x 5 42.5
Toilet 2 8 "-4" x 4 "-3.4"
Terrace 10 * 5 mid -9 "57,5
Kitchen 11 * times 8 & gt; -6 "93,5
Here are the details of one of the apartments in Kumar Periwinkle in Haradi, which we are talking about.
Now terraces are usually considered, halving their actual area. Thus, the area considered on the terrace is 57.5 square meters. M. = 28.75 square meters. Fouta
Thus, the total area of the carpet for the rooms of the apartment is about 655 square meters. Feet Now in the center of the apartment there is a walk-through area, which looks about 11 feet by 5 feet, which adds another 55 square meters. Feet to the square.
So, the approximate area of the apartment carpet = 710 square meters. Feet
Now the selling area indicated on the website is 892 sq. M. Feet This is the area that you put up, multiplying it by a square foot.
This difference is what a super built-up area is. As far as I have seen, the rule of thumb is to take 1.25 as the multiplication factor for calculating the super-constructed area (i.e. of the Commodity Area).
So, if you multiply this ratio, 710 * 1.25 = 887.5 sq. Fouta is about the answer we expect.
But this 25% rule is not a written rule, and this factor may vary. Ideally, this multiplier should be more for circuits, where more space is provided for amenities and common areas. This area is provided to include common amenities that are built but not accrued directly to the customer. But for this there are no specific formulas. The agreement that you sign with the developer must contain all the details, such as the area of the carpet. But you will probably see the agreement in detail, only after you decide to buy your house there.
So you cheat when you actually get an apartment of 700 square meters. Feet when you think you have 900 sq. Feet? Not really ... The key is to ask for the carpet area of the apartment you are buying, and check it by doing the calculation as above, and also, if possible, check the dimensions on the ground. As long as we have an open market economy, you will always have a choice. Thus, if you find that the project has a multiplication factor of 25% for a super built-up area, and another 30%, then the simplest thing you can do is get the area of carpets in real rooms and find out the area per square meter. foot based on the area of the carpet to compare two projects.
In addition, there are also several additional bills, such as electricity reserves, parking fees, service charges for amenities, education fees, etc. Etc. Thus, you need to consider and compare all these charges before you think about choosing the right project for the purchase of real estate. Think about how much comfort you are going to use, and how much you get for them. Would it just be better to buy a no-nonsense project and join the gymkhana club rather than pay for servicing a swimming pool that you are not going to use?
Just create an excel sheet and put all the properties of the property in it, such as carpet area, parking fees, etc. Use this sheet as a basis for making a decision, rather than the glossy marketing brochures they give you!
