Frequently asked questions
About Achter de Kamp 258, Amersfoort
Is €1,950,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price is 128% above the neighbourhood average of €856,125 and is the highest of the eight apartments currently for sale in Beestenmarkt. However, this home is also 151% larger than the neighbourhood average of 196 m², so the price per square metre is in line with the market. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the historic character and central location.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This is a mid-range label, meaning the home is not particularly energy-efficient. Heating costs will be moderate compared to a modern home, but lower than a property with label G. In the neighbourhood, 16.7% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for an older building.
How old is the building and what does that mean for maintenance?
The building dates from 1739, making it over 280 years old. In the neighbourhood, 33.3% of homes were built before 1945, so this is not uncommon for the area. An older home often means solid construction and characterful details, but you should expect ongoing maintenance and potentially higher energy costs.
