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 Battisborough Cross, Brixton, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 3 | 66 m² | 87 m² | 103 m² | 31 |
| 4 | 65 m² | 78 m² | 93 m² | 89 |
| 5 | 86 m² | 106 m² | 145 m² | 113 |
| 6 | 114 m² | 135 m² | 190 m² | 154 |
| 7 | 130 m² | 154 m² | 211 m² | 124 |
| 8 | 150 m² | 191 m² | 259 m² | 84 |
| 9 | 167 m² | 247 m² | 293 m² | 28 |
| 10 | 217 m² | 253 m² | 362 m² | 5 |
| 11 | 231 m² | 272 m² | 400 m² | 6 |
| 12 | 120 m² | 120 m² | 120 m² | 5 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 9 habitable rooms, ranging from 167 to 293 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.
