A sales property’s price per square foot/metre is automatically calculated and added to the property attributes

Once entered, this value can be used on templates and brochures generated within the system

Having visibility of this calculation is useful for agents to see when comparing property for valuation purposes, as well as being of interest to prospective buyers

1. Add square foot/metre value

This feature requires a property price as well as a property measurement area to be entered

From sales property, Attributes panel:

  • Click edit (pencil) icon

From property Attributes, Measurements section:

  • Click the drop-down menu and select Square metres or Square feet
    This determines the measurement unit used when calculating the price

  • Enter the relevant measurement(s) then close the Attributes window to save
    This can be entered as a single measurement or as a range, as required

In this example a single measurement has been entered - when entering a single measurement it is recommended to use the minimum field for reporting purposes (see step 2)

  • The price per measurement unit is shown in the property Attributes panel

2. Report on price per square foot/metre

From Power Reports:

  • Select Property Report type and Sales then click Pick Property Criteria

  • Select Price Per Min. Sq. Ft. | (Sq. M.)

Example report
The example below will return all properties for sale and available in the user’s current office with a price per square foot of between £800 and £1,200

View price per square foot/metre in property report grids and organiser grids

From a report or organiser grid:

  • Right-click over the column headings, select Pick columns and click More

  • Select Price Per Max. Area and/or Price Per Min. Area and click Accept

  • The new columns are added to the far right side of the grid - click and drag the column headings to the desired position

  • Right-click over the column headings again and click Save grid layout

  • The columns will show when using this type of grid again - grid functions can be used to sort or filter by price

    • To sort the list, click the column heading

    • To filter the list, click to the right of the column heading (to view filter icon, shown below), enter the price to filter by and click Update

3. Merge codes for brochures & templates

Price per max (i.e. right side value): <Property.Attributes.PricePerAreaTo>
