@iainsavage LT doesn't have MEP support? I honestly had no idea. I have never had a need to use it before, but assumed it had "lite" support for all the disciplines.
For the Area issue.... I think what might be happening is the Length of the wall that you see in the properties window is not necessarily the length of the Finished Face. It is from the End to End length, which may be imbedded into the opposing wall. So there could be a difference between the area (Height x Width) of the "Wall" and the "Finish Face" surface of the wall depending on how its calculated.
Have you tried using a Material Take Off schedule? They may give a more accurate "surface area" measurement.

As shown here.
I thought you were wanting the wall areas in each room? How do you know which room the walls are in?
Also when you say that your calculation and Revit's calculations disagree, to what extent do they disagree? Is it a significant percentage? Could it be, as @hmunsell suggested, to do with the joints at corners, intersections and at joins with floors etc?
Someone on the Architecture forum probably has a better understanding of how this works in Revit.
