Our experienced friends like wiseman and nataraj should give their valued guidance on the normal carpet area as a percentage of the saleable area. I have calculated in a number of cases and it varies from 65% to 80%. Median is around 70%. A higher carpet area is better even if the sq. ft. rate is a little higher. How many of us really get into the carpet area? We seem to simply go by what the builders say in terms of the saleable/chargeable area. wiseman and nataraj should advise us on the subject and to what extent these can be considered reasonable as there is wide variation from 65% to 80% in the ratio of carpet area to chargeable area.
