Space figures can describe different things. Knowing which area a number refers to makes comparisons far more useful.
What to keep in mind
Carpet area refers to usable floor area within a unit as defined under applicable law. Built-up area can include wall thickness and other components; terms may be used differently in marketing materials. Ask for the approved floor plan and a written area statement. Seek independent clarification where figures differ.
Before you move forward
Every property and transaction is different. Verify current information from official sources, request documents in writing and seek the right independent professional support before making a financial or legal commitment.
A more considered property decision begins with better questions. This article is for general information and does not replace legal, tax or financial advice.
