What is 1 BHK, 2 BHK & 3 BHK (0.5 BHK) in a Flat layout?

BHK is a flat notation used to identify or describe the layout of a flat.

In India, it is common misconception theory. Sometimes it seems like little confusing.

Let us explain these in detail.

The numeric value before any of those letters will indicate the number of rooms.

What is BHK means?

BHK full form is – Bedroom, Hall & Kitchen

                 If it says 2B that means it has –  2 Bedroom,

2H means – 2 Hall/Living room,

2K means 2 Kitchen

Now let’s see what else notations are used in common. Here we have attached the typical flat diagram to illustrate.

The diagrams may not be perfect 🙂 but we hope it illustrates what it is meant to be.
