Size
English Housing Survey, Headline Report, 2020-21, published by the Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities in 2021, defines size as: ‘The total usable internal floor area of the dwelling as measured by the surveyor, rounded to the nearest square metre. It includes integral garages and integral balconies but excludes stores accessed from the outside only, the area under partition walls and the stairwell area.’
NB The word ‘size’ may also refer to glutinous substances used to fill the pores in surfaces of materials such as woven fabrics.
