Converting between area units
When you look at land or housing, listings may use square meters, dönüm or hectares, and foreign sources use acres or square feet. This tool converts in one step: enter the value and pick the source and target unit.

Things to note
- The dönüm is officially 1,000 m², but regional usage can differ; rely on the area stated in the title deed before a sale.
- Gross and net floor area differ in housing; this tool only converts units and does not work out the gross-to-net difference.
- Square feet are common in US and UK listings; 1 m² is about 10.76 ft².

Roughly working out the area of a plot
For a rectangular plot, area is length times width: 25 m × 40 m = 1,000 m², which is one dönüm or about a quarter of an acre. For a triangle, multiply the base by the height and halve it: a triangle with a 30 m base and 20 m height is 300 m². Splitting an irregular plot into a few rectangles and triangles and adding up their areas is a practical way to get a rough figure.
Measurements like this are only estimates. For a purchase or any official process, the area recorded in the title deed and land registry is what counts, and if the boundaries are in doubt, ask a licensed surveyor to measure the land.
