Is that really country-specific? "Until the end of 2003, areas under stairs were not counted as living space if their clear height was less than 2 m, but since 2004 they have been counted as living space as soon as they are higher than 1 m. However, only half of the area up to a height of 2 m is counted, only from 2 m height are these areas counted without deduction."
I am a nitpicker when it comes to stuff like this [emoji6] And I think you should be too. We once viewed a house where the area was off by 11 sqm because the developer's planner had apparently entered a measurement incorrectly. The house was 30 years old and supposedly no one had ever noticed that. I actually believe that. But honestly, that’s cheating.
Real estate agents also often exaggerate significantly upwards. And they should know how to calculate correctly. Terraces are counted at 100% instead of 25%. Sloping ceilings are not deducted. Basement rooms are included. Such fraud really gets on my nerves! I spot that right away (nitpicker) but many don’t and then there’s a nasty surprise when selling or renting.
