    Rollocks. Just went back on Rightmove armed with your figures. But all the measurements for Austrian properties are in metres, not feet. Do you know the difference perchance?

    Very roughly, the square metreage is about 1/10th of the square footage, so add a zero to the square metreage to compare.

    To be more precise, you can use a converter of area like on www.onlineconversion.com

    My place is 250 square feet in total.

    My last house was 1200 square feet not including the roof rooms and the garage.

    I think it should be compulsory to give you the footage, it's a pain working out the size when you're trying to buy a house and calculate the £/sq ft yourself (as I have done in the past)

    They do in central London, for pretty much every place. For example:

    http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-17421706.rsp?pa_n=7&tr_t=buy

    "The internal area is 581 sq ft."

    http://www.rightmove.co.uk/viewdetails-10243302.rsp?pa_n=7&tr_t=buy

    "500 SQ FT"

    Yes, you're right. Floorplans etc do seem to be much more popular in London. They did one for our salubrious bolt-hole in Anerley :rotfl:

    Tip: Always check where you hide your sweeties. I can fit in the smallest of places if there's wine gums involved.
