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 Highbury, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 19 m² | 32 m² | 37 m² | 22 |
| 2 | 36 m² | 48 m² | 63 m² | 966 |
| 3 | 51 m² | 68 m² | 89 m² | 1,373 |
| 4 | 64 m² | 85 m² | 118 m² | 557 |
| 5 | 102 m² | 122 m² | 165 m² | 266 |
| 6 | 117 m² | 147 m² | 186 m² | 298 |
| 7 | 140 m² | 176 m² | 204 m² | 206 |
| 8 | 153 m² | 201 m² | 253 m² | 130 |
| 9 | 172 m² | 212 m² | 318 m² | 35 |
| 10 | 227 m² | 287 m² | 354 m² | 18 |
| 11 | 265 m² | 398 m² | 398 m² | 7 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 1 habitable rooms, ranging from 19 to 37 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.
