Square meters and what is 1 + 1, 2 + 1, 3 + 1 and beyond

So, you decided to take a closer look at the real estate market in Turkey and opened the Internet,
to ask the price. One of the first things that you will see is the designation of apartments with
incomprehensible meaning 1 + 1, 2 + 1, 3 + 1 and so on. It is customary to denote by this value
the first digit is the number of halls, by the way, in Turkey the hall we are used to is called
salon. The second number represents the number of separate bedrooms. Thus, for
the value 1 + 1 will mean a two-room apartment, in which one salon and one
bedroom. The apartment will also have a small corridor, however, there are layouts
and without a corridor in the segment of budget housing, bathroom, balcony, kitchen area
allocated space in the cabin.
Apartments with 1 + 1 layouts are quite standard and there is a big difference in layouts
not marked between projects. The salon is approximately 20 (plus or minus) square meters.
Part of the salon is reserved for kitchen furniture. These are the upper mezzanines and lower
lockers. In "good" projects, the kitchen will be of high quality with a built-in
developer hood, hob, electric oven.
The bedroom is slightly smaller than the salon, without furniture. Many developers put
air conditioners, partly household appliances (dishwasher, gas bottle).
In Antalya, a bath is very rare, in almost all projects (with the exception of
large-scale apartments and villas) there is a shower cubicle or a shower "to the floor".
Particular attention should be paid to the area of ​​apartments, which you see in the description
object. In the Republic of Turkey in the apartment as a whole there is no division into residential and general
area. All square meters, which in one way or another relate to the apartment, are included in
its area. This also includes the width of the wall, the balcony, as well as part of the external
corridor in front of the entrance to the apartment. This is due to the fact that the measurement of the house as a whole
is made on the outside of the wall of the house. This can be easily explained, since
a developer is a legal entity carrying out its activities with the aim of
profit, and therefore everything that he built is subject to sale and has its own
the price.
Based on this, subtract approximately 10-15% of the indicated area and you will receive
the actual area of ​​your apartment.
If you buy an apartment from a developer under construction, you
read the technical documentation and see the layout of the apartment with
indicated square meters. Also consider the above.
If you are considering purchasing a second home, you yourself can
calculate the area of ​​the apartment, while we will give you some recommendations.
It is best to measure the width of the walls along the line of the ceiling or floor, so the values ​​\ u200b \ u200bwill be
more correct. Do not rely on rough estimates or
previously established values. In order to calculate the sum of the areas of the entire
rooms, you need to add up the areas of the entire room, which are calculated for each
walls. When performing area calculations, be sure to subtract the excess.
As practice shows, there is nothing supernatural in these calculations. Make them
you can do it yourself without resorting to the help of specialists.
We often hear requests for studio apartments. Such an apartment can be purchased
only in houses that were built before 2017, since from this year there were
amendments were made to the current legislation in the field of construction and
such layouts are recognized as not comfortable for living. Building
apartments with such layouts have been discontinued.
