How big are our houses compared to the rest of Europe?

How big are our houses? Many times, we wonder if our homes have an adequate surface. To the surprise of many, the houses in Cyprus have a dimension far above that of most European countries' houses. According to data provided by the governments of England, Wales, Scotland, and the United States, among other countries, the average property in Cyprus is 141m². In 2016, the average house sold in England and Wales had an area of 104 m², which is two-fifths the size of a tennis court, for example.

Meanwhile, the apartments had an average of 49 square meters (excluding bathrooms, corridors, corridors, and landings). That's four times the size of a typical parking space. Taking flats and houses together, the average size of properties sold in England and Wales in 2016 was 90 m², slightly below the European Union average and much smaller than new homes in the United States, which average 245 m². Today, new properties are much larger than existing ones: four years ago, new homes were 13% larger than the average existing houses, while the middle new floor was 17% larger than the average existing floor.

According to specialists, holiday homes represent a third of the types of accommodation in Cyprus. It is worth noting that the average size of the holiday homes is 141 m², with a price of 245 euros per night. These holiday rentals are ideal if you are traveling with large groups as this is the average number of people that holiday apartments can accommodate in Cyprus. We can also compare other types of accommodation on the island.

For example, holiday apartments have an average of 72 m² and an average rental price of 118 euros per night.
