Here’s a unique guide on plot size conversion in Pakistan:
Understanding Plot Sizes in Pakistan
- Marlas and Kanals:
- 1 Marla = 272.25 square feet
- 1 Kanal = 20 Marlas = 5,445 square feet
- Therefore, 1 Kanal = 20 Marlas × 272.25 square feet = 5,445 square feet
- Square Feet and Square Yards:
- 1 Square Yard = 9 Square Feet
- Commonly, plots are also referred to in terms of square yards.
- Acres and Hectares:
- 1 Acre = 8 Kanals = 43,560 square feet
- 1 Hectare = 2.471 Acres = 107,639 square feet
Conversion Table: Plot Size in Different Units
| Local Units | Square Feet | Square Meters | Square Yards | Acres | Hectares |
|---|---|---|---|---|---|
| 1 Marla | 272.25 | 25.29 | 30.25 | 0.0062 | 0.0025 |
| 1 Kanal | 5,445 | 506.43 | 605 | 0.124 | 0.0506 |
| 1 Acre | 43,560 | 4,046.86 | 4,840 | 1 | 0.4047 |
| 1 Hectare | 107,639 | 10,000 | 11,960 | 2.471 | 1 |
How to Convert Plot Sizes
- Marla to Square Feet:
- Multiply the number of marlas by 272.25.
- Example: 10 Marlas = 10 × 272.25 = 2,722.5 square feet.
- Kanal to Square Feet:
- Multiply the number of kanals by 5,445.
- Example: 2 Kanals = 2 × 5,445 = 10,890 square feet.
- Acres to Kanals:
- Since 1 acre equals 8 kanals, multiply the number of acres by 8 to get the number of kanals.
- Example: 5 acres = 5 × 8 = 40 kanals.
- Square Feet to Square Meters:
- Multiply the number of square feet by 0.092903 to convert to square meters.
- Example: 2,722.5 square feet = 2,722.5 × 0.092903 = 252.9 square meters.
Practical Examples
- Buying a 10-Marla Plot:
- If you are buying a 10-marla plot, you’re looking at 2,722.5 square feet or approximately 252.9 square meters.
- Selling a 2-Kanal Plot:
- A 2-kanal plot would be 10,890 square feet, which is also 1,210 square yards or 0.25 acres.
Tips for Conversion:
- Use Online Calculators: For quick conversions, especially for less common units, online land measurement converters can save time.
- Local Variations: Be aware that the definition of a marla can slightly vary in different regions of Pakistan, though the 272.25 square feet standard is widely used.
- Understand the Market: Plot sizes are often advertised in marlas or kanals, so it’s helpful to understand these terms when evaluating property.
This guide should help you navigate the complexities of plot size conversion in Pakistan, whether you’re buying, selling, or just trying to understand land measurements.
