Homebuyer's Guide: Understand Carpet, Built-Up & Super Built-Up Areas Before You Buy!
- •Carpet Area is the net usable space inside your home, excluding walls, balconies, and common areas, as defined by RERA.
- •Built-Up Area includes carpet area, internal/external wall thickness, balconies, and exclusive corridors, but not shared spaces.
- •Super Built-Up Area comprises built-up area plus a share of common facilities like lifts, lobbies, gyms, and clubhouses.
- •Builders often quote built-up or super built-up areas to make properties seem larger; RERA mandates clear disclosure of carpet area.
- •Selling properties based solely on super built-up area is now illegal, and builders must refund differences if carpet area is less than promised.
Why It Matters: Master property area terms (Carpet, Built-Up, Super Built-Up) to make informed home-buying decisions and avoid hidden costs.
