WATCH OUT FOR YOUR FEET ... YOUR SQUARE FEET THAT IS!
In a real estate developer’s course of business, particularly when sellin a divided co-ownership unit, it is typical to indicate all advertisements, preliminary contracts and/or plans that the surface area indicated (in writing) is either approximate or gross. In so doing, the real estate developer is notifying a potential buyer that the surface area specified in the relevant documentation should not be construed as an exact representation of the actual surface area once the works have been completed.
