WHAT IS THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN GROSS AND NET SQUARE METERS?

 

Gross and net square meters of buildings are separated in 4 different ways. These are external gross, internal gross, external net and internal net.

 

External gross: The external gross, the so-called share of the total construction output of a house, describes the share to which the building is entitled from all parts to which it is entitled. This includes the building portion of the parking lot, warehouse and social facilities.

 

Internal gross: Internal gross, which describes a building's proportion of the building, describes stairs, elevators, ventilation shafts and corridors. This means that in addition to the square meter of the building, these sections are also included in the gross internal share.

 

External mesh: The part that covers the outer four walls of the building is called the external mesh. Balconies and terraces are also included in the calculation.

 

Inner network: The inner network refers to all parts of a building that can be physically used. Balconies and terraces are also included in this calculation.

 

WHY ARE NET AND GROSS SQUARE METERS IMPORTANT?

 

One of the problems that people who buy real estate within the borders of the Republic of Turkey generally face is the differences in gross and net square meters. The buildings that investors think they bought at 120 square meters may be 90 square meters, which may cause disappointment among people. The difference between gross square meters and net square meters is generally regarded as the difference. In order not to face such situations, it is important for investors to conduct detailed research on this topic and, after getting acquainted with the net square meter, make a purchase.

 

The development of technologies also ensures that the problems that may arise in this regard are minimized.
