Should we include staircase and common area of apartment in super bulit up area at each floor? I'm still confuse

[@_nitin_69]

THANK you so much

[@AssetYogi]

Welcome 😊

[@rituchopara1762]

Thank you Asset Yogi for describe in good way about Carpet Area, I have subscribed your channel and in future I want more things to know about Real Estate

[@AssetYogi]

Thanks Ritu! Keep watching, keep learning.

[@sunilkhanduri8821]

Very nice sir

[@shruti7594]

Is Deck area to be included in the carpet area?

[@karthikrajendran9505]

Hi Sir ,
Recently I visited the property which they proposed 1780sqft Super built up area for 4000/- per sqft. Carpet area would be 28% less from that which is 1281.6 sqft. Is that a good deal?

[@mahamudulhasanrabbi9209]

Excellent presentation

[@AssetYogi]

Thanks 😊

[@shujaranjan5916]

Doing Good Asset Yogi, Keep it Up

[@AssetYogi]

Thanks for the support :)

[@sopanmuller]

Very well explained. Thank you. While building your own home am told the ballpark is 2000/- per sq ft. of the built up area. Are the costs of the verandahs and terrace also budgeted at the same rate?

[@AssetYogi]

Great 👍

[@kushthakrar]

Your definition of carpet is incorrect. As per RERA definition:
(k) "carpet area" means the net usable floor area of an apartment, excluding the area covered by the external walls, areas under services shafts, exclusive balcony or verandah area and exclusive open terrace area, but includes the area covered by the internal partition walls of the apartment.
Explanation.- For the purpose of this clause, the expression "exclusive balcony or verandah area" means the area of the balcony or verandah, as the case may be, which is appurtenant to the net usable floor area of an apartment, meant for the exclusive use of the allottee; and "exclusive open terrace area" means the area of open terrace which is appurtenant to the net usable floor area of an apartment, meant for the exclusive use of the allottee;

[@AssetYogi]

Thanks for highlighting Kush. We will update the Carpet Area explanation as per new RERA definition in another video soon.

[@vidyavora6285]

I am not getting through the calculation. My carpet area is 411sq.ft and the builder is saying the super built up is 706. Loading is 42%. I an getting so confused

[@MrPathakhemant]

You have not commented on- Volume of the property, Paint Area of property, Floor Area of Property which are vital factors

[@mayankvaghela9864]

Give calculation for commercial property

[@azharuddinshaikh7466]

Hello Yogi , why would we include balconies in carpet area?
Even the balconies are hanging or projected out from above plinth area?

[@AssetYogi]

This is an old definition of Carpet Area before RERA. Please check my updated video on Carpet Area as per RERA - ua-cam.com/video/sjv7XMUQzgE/v-deo.html

[@azharuddinshaikh7466]

Asset Yogi thanks for your video information

Balcony is not included in carpet area as per RERA 4:33

[@swatipandey3147]

I am understand now what is carpet area. how is different with built up are and super built up area

[@AssetYogi]

Great!

[@kishorshinde5567]

What is Enclosed Balcony as per RERA?

[@AssetYogi]

A Balcony that is not open and is usually with windows instead of open air. It is a platform elevated from the wall of a building, supported by columns and enclosed with walls with few windows. As per RERA the net usable floor area of an apartment is to be considered while buying a property.

[@kishorshinde5567]

@@AssetYogi I read the same on rera website. But not able to understand it. How can balcony is not open?

[@PrabhatSingh-yd4mw]

What about Built Up area ?

[@AssetYogi]

Please check out our separate video on Built up Area.

Are you sure carpet area include balcony ?

[@gauravsonar9847]

hindi may batate to acha hota india hai ye

[@rituchopara1762]

So we have to buying property on the basis of carpet area

[@AssetYogi]

Absoultely. You should be looking for Carpet Area and not Super Built up Area while buying a property.
