KNOW YOUR MEASUREMENTS – REAL ESTATE EDITION

Quickly! Let’s look at basic terms of measurements used in real estate, that we are familiar with and their differences, from terms used to measure the area of a property to weight and length measurement units;

·         AREA: space occupied (usually length multiplied by breath)

Ø  1 square metre (sqm²) = 10.76 square feet (sqft².)

Ø  1 plot = 60 x 120 feet (ft.) = 7200 square feet

Ø  1 plot = 18 x 36 metre (m) = 648 square metre

Ø  1 acre = 6 plots = 4,046 square metre

Ø  1 hectare = 15 plots

·         WEIGHT: relative mass of something

Ø  1000 milligram (mg) = 1 gram (g)

Ø  1000 gram (g) = 1 kilogram (kg)

Ø  2.2 pounds (lb.) = 1 kilogram (kg)

Ø  2000 pounds (lb.) = 1 ton (t)

Ø  907 kilograms (kg) = 1 ton (t)

·         Finally LENGTH: distance between two point

·         Obvious – 10 millimetre (mm) = 1 centimetre (cm),

1000 millimetre (mm) = 1 metre (m)

·         Then – 100 centimetre (cm) = 1 metre (m)

·         1000 metre (m) = 1 kilometre (km)

·         1.61 kilometre (km) = 1 mile

·         1 inch (”) = 2.54 centimetre (cm)

12 inches (“) = 1 foot (ft.)

·         Just in case, “multiple foots” are known as “feet”

3.28 feet (ft.) = 1 metre (m)

3 feet (ft.) = 1 yard (yds.)

5280 (ft.) = 1 mile (mi)
