Area labels can make two homes with the same advertised size feel completely different. The useful question is not only “how many square feet?” but “which square feet are included?”
Carpet area
The net usable floor area inside the apartment, subject to the applicable legal definition.
Built-up area
Carpet area plus wall thickness and certain attached areas, depending on how the seller presents the calculation.
Super built-up area
Built-up area plus a proportionate share of common spaces. This marketing figure is common in multi-unit developments.
What to remember
- Ask for the area breakup in writing.
- Compare price on the same area basis.
- Measure or verify when the difference matters.
Good real-estate decisions begin with clear information, local context and documents that can be verified.
