Before buying a house all enquire about the area. First of all the matter comes of its area and from calculation of area itself, it becomes a major game. It is essential that before buying a house, understand all terms related to area. Loss related to confusion of area is directly borne by the buyer. In most of the cases, he pays more prices for lesser space. For example, several builders charge same amount for carpet area as well as super area, whereas there is difference of 15 to 20% between the two. Charging equal amount, the price of carpet area becomes somewhat higher. Suppose, you want to buy a house, for it there are two options from the builder, firstly, he will give a 1000 Sq. ft house at a cost of Rs 15 lakh and secondly he will give 1100 sq.ft. House at same cost. Evidently, you would like to buy a bigger house, but the game starts from here. As per the extant trend of market, price of a house is decided after combining the carpet area and super area. While buying a flat, instead of doing simple mathematical calculations, one must concentrate on calculation of area. In this case the super area of the flat is 1100 sq. ft. it means that the money you paid is for use of 875 sq .ft. and not for 1100 sq. ft.While finalizing the deal you must enquire about the exact area. If the builder area is talking about area, then ask him how much is he giving usable area and which are the areas included in the price of house. Let us have a look at these areas.

 

Capet Area

Some stand must be laid down for it. If the builders will follow such standard and also apprise customers about same, then the concept of super built-up area can be adopted easily. In addition to bureau of Indian standards several other government agenencies are also working in this regard. for it based on carpet area or national reference area, matter is under way to formulate a rule to decide the price of a property.
