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 West Cliff, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 21 m² | 29 m² | 38 m² | 154 |
| 2 | 31 m² | 42 m² | 57 m² | 725 |
| 3 | 52 m² | 67 m² | 88 m² | 980 |
| 4 | 61 m² | 89 m² | 125 m² | 270 |
| 5 | 101 m² | 116 m² | 136 m² | 48 |
| 6 | 100 m² | 114 m² | 134 m² | 30 |
| 7 | 164 m² | 170 m² | 223 m² | 17 |
| 8 | 163 m² | 180 m² | 221 m² | 11 |
| 9 | 214 m² | 219 m² | 235 m² | 8 |
| 10 | 170 m² | 170 m² | 220 m² | 8 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 4 habitable rooms, ranging from 61 to 125 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.
