Check the carpet area

Before you book a new flat you must check the actual carpet area. In the brochures, you will find the super built-up area which includes lobby, staircase, elevator space, the wall thickness, etc. You will get the actual carpet area by deducting 30% from the super built-up area. For example, if you see a 2BHK 1,000 square feet flat, it means you will get 700-750 square feet in reality. That is why, you should check the carpet area enclosed within the wall before booking one.
