Real Estate and Land Measurement

This measure excludes partitions and pillars that subtract surface, as they are not directly occupied. The measurement of the useful surface helps to know the available space of a house to live and inhabit, an architect or technical architect being essential since the deeds of the house are not enough.

On the other hand we have the built surface. This also includes the square meters within the perimeter of the house, together with the walls, partitions, galleries, ventilation and insulation ducts, and all those installations inside the house even if they cannot be directly occupied.

Note that the measurement of terraces and patios not covered and not delimited by walls on all four sides will be carried out differently. In an appraisal, these measurements must always be done separately, differentiating the surface of the house and that of the terrace or outdoor patio. Obviously, storage rooms and garages outside the house are valued in the same way, as they are not included in the surface of the house.

For your information, the measurements of the homes and land, together with certain unique data of the property, is part of the Cadastre information. This information is public for any registered dwelling and can be consulted through the internet to know the surface of the property for free.
