For example, it we take a 1400 sq. ft. flat, assuming a carpet area of say about 1000-1050 sq. ft. ( for this flat, the typical areas can be:
1. Living hall approx. 200 sq. ft.
2. Dining hall 120 sq. ft.
3. Kitchen 100 sq. ft.
4. Bed I 150 sq. ft.
5. Bed II 130 sq. ft.
6. Bed III 120 sq. ft.
7. Balcony 40 sq. ft. one for kitchen, one for hall or one each for 2 bed rooms.
8. Balance for 3 toilets.
Don't you feel, this will be a fairly good configuration from utility point of view.

What you are saying is fine. I aint talking about that alone. I am talking about DESIGN. So if you have both your bedrooms on one side of the hall that is different from one bedroom on either side. There are many such special features.
Infact buying a house is not an easy vocation. Very often you must be lucky to hit the right one. Unfortunately many dont even care about it. They buy based on pure numbers. Numbers are good to evaluate the approximate worth but not the actual price. For example in a 40 feet road the same flat has a higher worth than on a 20ft road. Why?
Usability.
Usability is a feature that cant be discussed in one line, it needs one to plan his thoughts before the act. So if you dont look at the plan and find out if it fits your WAY OF LIFE, you might end up in pain.
Ofcourse all these comments are meant for decent flats not for a two bedroom built in 600sqft where it is at best a rat hole.
