IS HIGH CEILING IN APT COUNTED AS FLOOR AREA OR PART OF GROSS FLOOR AREA?

My brother looking to buy a penthouse and the agent told him so.

I dont think so.

depends on the height i think. i think if a normal person can stand when a loft is built above, then the airspace is considered GFA. i know that for far east's 3.5 to 3.7m ceiling where they build lofts, its not counted. but those with 4.7 to 5.1m floor to ceiling areas will be counted as GFA. but i m not really sure at what height the line is drawn.

it actually depends on development. have to check with the agent presenting to u. Some developments do not charge

Some developments are really kelong. They sell high ceiling and add in GFA but you have to build the loft yourself.

Some build the loft but don't consider as GFA.

Depends on the layout. For e.g. a 2-storey penthouse with living room ceiling extending to the second storey ceiling, the void space is counted into GFA. The dodgy ones are as bargain hunter mentioned the neither here nor there 3.5m high types.
