• Carpet Area vs Super Area

We have a independent house with ground floor and first floor in Hyderabad.

While negotiating with a buyer on carpet area basis, isn't it correct to include carpet area of both ground floor and first floor combined? Or is it more value to negotiate on total super area (ground+first floor and including open green space)

You can mention carpet area of entire house sold by you 

 

2) sale of house cannot be on basis of super built up area 

 

3) you can mention area of land in sale deed

If you are selling the hole house then even the vacant space would also be taken into account while selling.

After all you are selling both the built up area and the vacant area s as well.

So do not leave any area left while calculating the price on which you wish the property to be sold.

It is an independent house, so why getting confused with carpet or built up area. Property value shall be acc. To demand and supply in market.

If buyer is willing than market price of land plus your demand above it plus cost of construction.

Every thing will be super built up area.

Total carpet area is less than super built up that's it.  But presently the rates are determined on carpet area only

1) You have to charge as per ready recknor and market value, best way is to charge per sq ft or sq mtrs.

Dear Sir,

- Carpet area and super area is generally considered for flat or builder's floor. In the case of independent house with all amenities it is to be considered the complete facility and total area of plot.

- You will get better value while discussing the whole package specially the plot/land area.

- All the best

Sale is always made on the basis of a total super area and not on the basis of carpet area of the property.

In an independent house there is no question of carpet area or built up area or super built up area.

It is applicable for flats or apartment cases only where there is UDS.

You have purchased a fully constructed  independent house, it will consist of land and constructed structure of both first and second floor combined  in the registered sale deed.

Actually it is not understood that what do you want to clarify by this question, hence better throw some more light on it.

1. The sale is to be conducted based on the carpet area being sold by you unlike earlier times when super built up area used to be informed and mentioned in the sale deed.

 

2. You shall have to include the carpet area of both the floors if you are selling both the floors.

generally houses are sold on basis of built up area which includes not only the carpet area but also the common areas 

if you have a registered document then the built up area will be stated in that

if you have got the house constructed by yourself then the built up area will be stated in your architect's sanctioned plans

  1. Carpet area is the area that can actually be covered by a carpet, or the area of the apartment excluding the thickness of inner walls. Carpet area does not include the space covered by common areas such as lobby, lift, stairs, play area, etc. Carpet area is the actual area you get for use in a housing unit.
  2. Now, after going through the above definition of the carpet area, let me tell that every floor would have their different carpet area.
  3. But, if you wish to include/ combine the carpet area of both ground plus first, you can do that after specifying everything in detail in the agreement of sale.
  4. Super area (specifically like green space )should be calculated/ valued indecently and that also be there in the agreement to sale.
