Pounds shillings and…feet?

I have a dream.. that one day in this country, property will be marketed with the cost per square foot clearly indicated.  These are my arguments:

1. It’s much more common in the US and in Europe

2. It’s easier to see how much house you’re getting for your money

3. It will help stop massive over-valuing or ‘buying boards’ (the practice of over-valuing to win instructions)

4. It allows direct comparisons of properties

5. We even buy our loo rolls like this – 2p per sheet for example, so why not our houses?

I always present my clients with a Price Per Square Foot Analysis, and whilst the critics out there will argue that there’s much more to property valuing than this, it’s a very good starting point.



What to read nextIs there a hidden reason why your house isn’t selling?
