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 Kentish Town, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 22 m² | 36 m² | 55 m² | 46 |
| 2 | 36 m² | 46 m² | 61 m² | 744 |
| 3 | 47 m² | 63 m² | 89 m² | 1,004 |
| 4 | 64 m² | 85 m² | 114 m² | 520 |
| 5 | 94 m² | 121 m² | 151 m² | 244 |
| 6 | 112 m² | 145 m² | 190 m² | 191 |
| 7 | 137 m² | 168 m² | 239 m² | 107 |
| 8 | 156 m² | 187 m² | 235 m² | 74 |
| 9 | 123 m² | 222 m² | 291 m² | 29 |
| 10 | 201 m² | 232 m² | 283 m² | 13 |
| 11 | 290 m² | 290 m² | 292 m² | 5 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 1 habitable rooms, ranging from 22 to 55 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.
