Land registry/property specification type question
Hello
In a holiday let, there is
Sovrum: 3
Badrum: 2
Boning: 225 m²
Terrass: 90 m²
I suspect that boning (which I have seen before, refers to the construction itself and not the surrounding land (gardens etc) but I'd like confirmation (surprisingly not easy to find on Internet)
If it is just the the construction, how would a Swede express the m2 of the total property, including land please ?
I may need to add the term for land to the site.
Thanks

: Please, no. It's the correct translation if you want to get technical, but I've never seen a modern text with that word. Literally never.

Thanks Mitch, but not quite sure what you mean.

Discussion
Äldre språk, ofta använt i religiösa sammanhang t.ex. Herrens boning - kyrkan
Oftast använt i metaforisk betydelse i modern svenska som t.ex. i maktens boningar.
Sammansättning - boningshus (på en bondgård t.ex.)
I den här frågan rör det sig om en "bostad", och man förväntar sig att se "bostadsyta 225 m2" i en uppräkning enligt exemplet ovan.
Thanks a lot as always for your help.
