In the context of property in Singapore, there are several terms used to describe different measurements and aspects of a property. Here's a breakdown of the differences between Strata Area, Floor Area, Built-in Area, and Land Area:
1. **Strata Area:**
- Strata Area refers to the portion of a property that is individually owned within a multi-unit development, typically in condominiums or apartments.
- It includes the area of the unit itself as well as any share of the common areas such as corridors, lifts, staircases, and recreational facilities.
- Strata Area is measured in square feet or square meters and is often used in the context of strata-titled properties.
2. **Floor Area:**
- Floor Area refers to the total area of a specific floor within a building, including both the usable space within individual units and common areas shared by all residents.
- It encompasses the area enclosed by the external walls of the building and is measured from the internal faces of the external walls.
- Floor Area is often used to describe the size of individual units or entire floors within a building.
3. **Built-in Area:**
- Built-in Area refers to the total enclosed area within a property's walls, including all rooms, corridors, balconies, and other internal spaces.
- It excludes common areas such as voids, air-conditioner ledges, and outdoor spaces not enclosed within the property's walls.
- Built-in Area provides a more accurate representation of the usable space within a property and is commonly used in property listings and floor plans.
4. **Land Area:**
- Land Area refers to the total area of the land on which a property is situated.
- It includes the area occupied by the building, as well as any outdoor spaces such as gardens, lawns, driveways, and car parks.
- Land Area is measured in square feet or square meters and is often used to describe the size of landed properties such as houses, bungalows, or plots of land for development.
Understanding these terms can help property buyers and sellers accurately assess the size and dimensions of a property and make informed decisions during transactions.
