what is included in determining the sq meter of a house in the Philippines and how do they determine the sq meters of the house if any one know please reply

In ours it was living space.

Hello 4wdjeep.  Welcome to the forum.  When advertising a house here, everything is exaggerated. Most will include garage space or the total area covered by the roof, your usable living area is normally 3/4 this. Only by inspecting enough homes will you get a better perspective of what to look for. ps Most houses here are built with about a 30 - 40 life span.
Hope that helps.

thank you GODEES what about the car port do they included that that is not inclosed

Hello 4wdjeep.  Yes, anything with a roof ad sometimes even the patio with a bbq. Typical of most estate agent worldwide to stretch the truth but more so here.

GODEES IS THEY ANY ONE THAT I CAN TALK TO IN THE LOCATION GOVERMENT THAT WOULD KWON FOR SURE HOW THE SQ METER OF A HOUSE  IS DONE

Hello 4wdjeep
Government doesn't want anything to do house sales except the fees they collect. Best to ask agent to measure rooms, ie  master br   a x b,  kitchen c x d etc until you have a good idea of actual usable living space ( they will still exaggerate).  Sometimes you can get an idea from the plan for that particular model house, ours is a "Hermosa" Primary Homes. Look up floor plans for that particular building. Only proper way is look at them all, with your own tape measure.
