Floor plans
A qualified surveyor measures the property and produces clear floor plans with room dimensions and total floor area, for sales, lettings and marketing, with the measurement basis stated.
When you need it
Floor plans are not a legal requirement for selling or letting, but buyers and tenants expect them. Under consumer protection law, a property listing must not give false information or mislead buyers and tenants, so room sizes and floor areas need to be accurate.
RICS expects its members to measure using either IPMS: All Buildings or its Code of measuring practice. The surveyor measures to a recognised basis and states it on each plan.

Questions
Do I legally need a floor plan to sell or let?
No. But if one is used, the information on it must not mislead buyers or tenants.
Can a marketing floor plan be used for a lease?
Not usually. Lease plans must meet HM Land Registry requirements, such as a stated scale and a north point. We prepare lease plans as a separate service.
Are areas shown in square feet or square metres?
Both can be shown. Tell us what your agent prefers.
