If you really want to get into detail you can use this guide. Although probably a bit extreme!!

Edit: I forgot to mention that most people will use Net Internal which is measuring each room and adding them up whereas if surveyed correctly Gross Internal includes internal walls etc. I doubt many of the measurements EA quote are true GIA as this would require more than measuring each room.

This one is a bit easier to read!

tbh I never take a blind bit of notice of what it says. I've seen the property and know if it's big enough and how it compares against others on the market...


Would you want to pay more if it was reversed?

I have a look on Rightmove to see when the house was last sold as you might see a floor plan. Compared that floor plan with your current one to see if there is a difference.

You can also check comparable properties to your one too which may be actively listed
