Español LEARN TO MEASURES YOUR PROPERTY
Why we should know the total area of our property, the construction area and the living area.
The square footage contained in the Deed is not always correct, or may refer to different concepts, which can increase or decrease the size of the home considerably in some cases.
The total surface area of the home refers to the total size of the land. While the construction area refers only to the total construction or the house, they refer to the square footage that cover the construction, regardless of the green areas or other areas of the house that are used by the family and belong to the land.
Used surface, this indicates the amount in square meters of the property that residents use to perform all normal activities.
Apartments:
The measure used to market apartments in condominiums is usually only the built/construction area. The areas corresponding to the access corridors to the different levels, decks, stairs and even the elevator shaft are added to the pro-indiviso share (Percentage of Ownership in the Common Elements). This could represent an increase in the surface of the condominium.
However, when referring to the used area, will only be the meters of living area. This difference will be valuable information for the buyer of a condominium apartment for the usable area means his privacy and the common areas are what will give the condominium functionality, esthetic characteristics and playful areas such as landscape, pool and club house areas, etc..
The first thing is to verify the square footage included in the deed, nevertheless, in some cases this data is has been omitted in on items such as decks or patios we must now confirm that these information is now included.
Balconies or patios
The biggest difference between buyers and sellers commonly is in the way the areas of the balcony or Patios must be measured. In this case the best things are to define right away the surface area of the property separate from the patio area. That way they will avoid misunderstandings.
Being clear about the actual measurements of your house, that is the total meters, meters built or constructed and the used area meters this will avoid misunderstandings and provide a better idea of the type of property that you are offering.
