It's a nonsense so hard to explain.BiegeToyota wrote: ↑ Why is it that when I browse condos in Alberta and BC I get the exact square meter size in the listing, but when you look inside Ontario you always have to guess. At best they give you the approximate number in SQUARE FEET. Oh yes....same in Quebec.
What is this nonsense?
Its not incumbent on RE Professional to supply anything. They are not liable for a thing, lol. Even home inspectors in Ontario are wild west, I can claim I am one and give a home inspection report today.

Bottom line is that is you have the length and width, you can calculate yourself and prevent errors. Not incumbant on RE professional to supply accurate measurements nor the home owner since people can make mistakes/furniture may be in the way etc.
I mean, a home inspection is essentially having a handyperson walk you through a house like you're a child and explaining it all to you. Not really sure what certification you'd demand there considering most buyers don't want to pay the cost of licensed electricians, plumbers, etc. coming out just to tell you a breaker needs replacing or your water cutoff valve is old.krn905 wrote: ↑ Its not incumbent on RE Professional to supply anything.

To be honest, I'm curious why accurate square footage is even that important to people posting in this thread.
