Hello.

Does anyone have a good formula to value pain and suffering?
What about loss of use of square footage in a home?

thanks,

Hmmm
I=R*V
That should do it
Maybe turn the lights on? You can see the square footage better!

A pain and suffering claim for lost use of sqft? What state?

Are you speaking that the Realtor or MLS or tax Assessor stated more square footage then is ACTUALLY there?

I believe there are some case studies that have some information.

As you know there are many cost per square foot to build and price per square foot on a sales price.

I think that might be a good start?
Also suffering might be more about misrepresentation, fraud, or incompetence.

I would do research in your market
What did they buy the home at a price per square foot and that is the loss .

If this is a nominal difference… I think it will be harder to state your point. Most appraiser state it is for informational purpose… the sketch. There are reasonable differences.

The square footage difference is a percentage of difference. The smaller the house it will have a bigger percentage. If one is off by 100 square feet no typical borrower/ buyer would notice

Hope that is a start for you. I would talk to agents on your market

I see this on MLS more often then it should
I see agent add enclosed patios and non permitted square footage. I state in my reports when I see misrepresentation on MLS vs measured vs tax records.

FYI … Fannie Mae and FHA and VA do allow average workmanship non permitted square footage as part of total gross living area

Definitely do some case study research
Suffering is harder to mathematically calculate.
I would say something else …
