When you’re buying or renting a flat, one of the first things you’ll notice is the size mentioned in units like SQFT (square feet) or SQMTR (square meters). But what do these terms actually mean, and how do they impact your real estate decision? Let’s break it down in simple terms.
📏 What is SQFT (Square Feet)?
- SQFT stands for Square Feet, a common unit of area measurement used in India and many other countries.
- It measures the length and width of a space in feet.
- Example: A 2BHK flat with 800 SQFT means the flat has a total area of 800 square feet.
📐 What is SQMTR (Square Meter)?
- SQMTR stands for Square Meter, which is a standard unit of area used in the metric system.
- It is commonly used in European countries and by architects and developers for precision.
- 1 Square Meter = 10.7639 Square Feet
🔄 Conversion Formula
- To convert SQMTR to SQFT: Multiply by 10.7639
(e.g., 100 sqm = 1,076.39 sqft) - To convert SQFT to SQMTR: Divide by 10.7639
(e.g., 1000 sqft = 92.90 sqm)
🏠 Why Does It Matter?
- The size of the flat affects price, loan eligibility, property tax, and resale value.
- Always clarify if the mentioned area is carpet area, built-up area, or super built-up area.
- Larger SQFT/SQMTR means more spacious living but also higher cost.
