Floorplan and Sqm Listed - very inaccurate?

Hi All,

Is it just me or is this floorplan very inaccurate in terms of calculating the sqm? I have calculated it room by room and it doesn't come up to 105sqm.  They must have included the garage in the those calcs.  Also if they are adding up the longest measurements then also they must have double counted the square where I have marked an X?  or am I wrong?

    Have you included the hallway?

    If you include the hallway and the garage, 105.5 sq m seems about right to me.



    FWIW, I calculated that by dividing the house into 3 rectangles - green, pink and blue:

    Room by room, assuming conservarory is square, double counting thr red x and skipping the hallway gives me 110m^2. 

    The garage will be included in the size but probably not double counted. 

    It's only going to be an estimate though and don't really mean anything in reality as long as the rooms are a suitable size for you. The only time it would matter is when calculating what output you'd need from a boiler and that'll be fine to the nearest 10m^2.
