Mastering Tricity Land Measurements: A Buyer's Essential Guide 📏🚜
If you are planning to buy a plot or a floor in the Chandigarh, Mohali, or Panchkula region, the first thing you'll encounter is a different set of units. While the world talks in square feet and acres, local deals often happen in Kanals and Marlas.
The Basic Conversion
In Punjab and Haryana, the following units are the gold standard for real estate:
- 1 Acre = 8 Kanals (approx. 4,840 square yards)
- 1 Kanal = 20 Marlas (approx. 500 square yards or 4,500 sq. ft.)
- 1 Marla = 225 Square Feet (in some local areas, it might vary slightly, but 225-272 is the range).
Why Accuracy Matters
When you see a '10 Marla' house in Sector 68 Mohali or a '1 Kanal' plot in Panchkula Extension, knowing these numbers helps you calculate the exact price per square foot. It ensures you are getting a fair deal without any brokerage hidden costs.
