The space signal
Property listings describe homes by bedroom count, but that is not recorded in any public dataset. What is recorded is the number of habitable rooms — bedrooms and reception rooms together — and the total floor area. In Handsworth, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 2 | 37 m² | 42 m² | 54 m² | 14 |
| 3 | 50 m² | 72 m² | 83 m² | 67 |
| 4 | 67 m² | 77 m² | 94 m² | 607 |
| 5 | 74 m² | 85 m² | 108 m² | 1,077 |
| 6 | 84 m² | 107 m² | 142 m² | 192 |
| 7 | 115 m² | 138 m² | 174 m² | 81 |
| 8 | 125 m² | 161 m² | 196 m² | 53 |
| 9 | 179 m² | 212 m² | 241 m² | 8 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 6 habitable rooms, ranging from 84 to 142 m². Two properties advertised the same way can differ by more than half their floor area, which is why price per square metre is a more useful comparison than price alone.
