台北找房－秒看懂房屋大小Finding a leasing property in Taipei－About size

租房前需要確認的需求很多，其中空間坪數也是決定房屋是否舒適的重要條件之一，過大或過小都可能為生活帶來不便，但因為各國房屋面積計算單位不盡相同，上品房屋貼心提醒看屋前得先學會如何看懂台灣房屋大小。

在台灣，通常以「坪」作為房屋或土地面積的衡量單位，但在如建物權狀等正式不動產相關文件，使用的是平方公尺，因此要了解換算方式，一坪約等於3.3 平方公尺或約等於英、美制的35.5平方英尺。

東北亞的日本和韓國，則和台灣一樣使用「坪」為房屋面積計算單位，三個國家「坪」的面積也相同，唯有寫法、讀音不盡相同。「坪」的韓文字為「평」，讀音「pyeong」；日本漢字也是「坪」，但讀音為「Tsu bo」。中國大陸則以「平」或「平米」，也就是平方公尺為面積單位，但多了一個「米」字，計算單位就完全不同，一平米約為0.3025坪，香港則與英美一樣使用平方英尺。

此外每間房屋建物權狀上，載明的總面積包含主建物、附屬建物，及公設。主建物和附屬建物指得是室內面積；附屬建物多是陽台、花台、雨遮或露台等。公設就是室外面積，例如樓梯間、一樓門廳、甚至是花園、游泳池、健身房等等。若是承租透天厝或舊公寓，通常實際可使用面積會與權狀載明的較為相近；但如果是電梯大樓，尤其是距租屋日期愈接近甫落成的大樓，公設比通常為30％，甚至有可能更高，可使用空間大概為建物權狀的60%~70%左右。

Prior to leasing a property there are many requirements that need to be confirmed, and the size of the property is one of the most crucial factors for many expats. Given the variances in units across different countries, acquiring an understanding of property dimensions in Taiwan is important before choosing which house to rent.

Despite the fact that in official real estate documents such as building permits, the measurement is often in square meters, in Taiwan the unit commonly used to measure the size of a property is "坪" (ping), equivalent to「평，pyeong」to our Korean expats, or「Tsu bo坪」to our Japanese expats. To understand the conversion, one ping is approximately equal to 3.3 square meters or around 35.5 square feet.

The property's total area specified in the building permit encompasses the main building, auxiliary structures, and common areas. So, when viewing the property listing, please be mindful if the size shown is gross or net size. (Agents of Elegant Realty will specify.)

Property Area Breakdown

   - Main Building: Indoor area

   - Auxiliary Buildings: Balconies, terraces, etc.

   - Common Areas: Outdoor spaces like stairwells, lobbies, gardens

Usable Area Differences

   - Townhouses or Old Apartments: Actual usable area close to stated permit area

   - New High-rise Buildings: Common areas can account for up to 30% or more, reducing usable space to approximately 60% to 70% of the permit's area.
