Hi Blinkybill, I had the same problem when I took ownership of my apartment in the Marina. 589 sq ft was quoted in the contract but I calculated it to be around 100 sq ft less. After querying this with the developer I was told that as per the contract I would be given compensation if the difference was more than 3%. Nakheels 5% takes the ****, then on top that they have given themselves a get out clause, jokers!
After a lot of time wasting and telling me the area was calculated on a 'wall to wall' basis they then back tracked and told me that the floor size does not include internal walls and includes half the external walls (which brings it within the 3% bracket).
What we really need is a definition of what constitutes the area quoted in floor plans etc. and what is meant by the 'built up' and gross\net areas etc.
Good luck in the new place!
