Super built-up area

Super built-up area is the built-up area of a home plus its proportional share of the building's shared spaces: lobby, lifts, stairwells, and sometimes the clubhouse and garden.

( SCROLL ↓ )

Builders commonly use it to price a home at sale, and it is commonly quoted as around a quarter to a third more than the built-up area, though this is a convention, not a rule set by law. Rental listings mix area terms more loosely than sale listings do, so a rent quoted against a super built-up figure can look smaller per square foot than it really is. We always ask which area a quoted rent is measured against.

The number

Commonly quoted as around 25 to 30 percent more than the built-up area. This is a builder convention, not a figure set by law.

The glossary knows the word. The desk knows the home.
