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 Borehamwood, Elstree, homes with the same number of habitable rooms vary enormously in size.
| Habitable rooms | Smaller (10th) | Typical | Larger (90th) | Sales |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 | 29 m² | 31 m² | 36 m² | 22 |
| 2 | 36 m² | 45 m² | 51 m² | 473 |
| 3 | 49 m² | 59 m² | 74 m² | 903 |
| 4 | 62 m² | 78 m² | 98 m² | 1,149 |
| 5 | 70 m² | 89 m² | 117 m² | 1,008 |
| 6 | 93 m² | 115 m² | 152 m² | 337 |
| 7 | 116 m² | 146 m² | 192 m² | 145 |
| 8 | 158 m² | 203 m² | 306 m² | 141 |
| 9 | 171 m² | 209 m² | 313 m² | 74 |
| 10 | 191 m² | 235 m² | 329 m² | 39 |
| 11 | 286 m² | 359 m² | 638 m² | 15 |
| 12 | 326 m² | 326 m² | 464 m² | 5 |
The widest spread here is among homes with 11 habitable rooms, ranging from 286 to 638 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.
