Frequently asked questions
About Anne de Vriesstraat 49, Assen
Is €982 per month a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €982 for an 83 m² apartment with an A energy label is in line with what you would expect for a home of this size and efficiency in Assen. The neighbourhood is quiet and well-served by shops and schools, which supports the figure. There are no other comparable rentals currently listed in Dichtershof, so the market here is thin, but the price reflects the modern build and the low energy costs that come with the A label.
What does the A energy label mean for my heating bills?
An A label is the most efficient category, so you can expect relatively low energy costs compared to homes with lower labels. The label is an official registration, and it indicates that the home meets high standards for energy performance. For a flat of this size, that should translate into modest monthly outgoings for heating and electricity, though the exact amount will depend on your usage and the current energy prices.
