Carpet Area, Built-up Area/Plinth Area and Super Built-up Area


We continue with our quest for a better understanding of the jargons used during purchase of apartments. One other confusing scenario arises when the builders/sellers mention the area of the apartments. 

The area in SQFT which the (Chennai) builders mention is usually the Super Built-up Area, which is much higher than the actual area you get to use within the apartment. The actual area which a person can use within the apartment, excluding area taken up by the walls is called the Carpet Area.

One such term which the buyer needs to be well aware of is "UDS" or "Undivided Share"

The FAQ section of PlaceToLive.in provides the answers for common questions related to UDS, like...
