How It Works

Area conversions are essential for property, land and gardening in the UK. Estate agents use square feet alongside square metres, farmers work in acres and hectares, and planners use hectares. This converter handles all common units including square metres, square feet, square yards, acres and hectares.

Key equivalents: one acre is 4,047 square metres or 0.4047 hectares. One hectare is 10,000 square metres or 2.471 acres. A standard football pitch is approximately 0.71 hectares (1.76 acres). One square metre is 10.764 square feet.

Example: Converting 1,200 square feet

  1. 1,200 sq ft = 111.48 sq m
  2. 1,200 sq ft = 0.0275 acres
  3. 1,200 sq ft = 0.01115 hectares
