Frequently asked questions
About Baanstraat 24, Woerden
Is €1,475 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,475 is below the average of €2,398 for rentals in Schilderskwartier, but that average is based on only two listings, so it's not a strong benchmark. With 81 m², the price per square metre works out to about €18.20, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €28.50 per m². Given the limited data, this rent seems reasonable, though the final judgement depends on the condition and layout of the home itself.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C, which is a mid-range label. It means the home is not the most efficient, but it's also not the least efficient. You can expect moderate energy costs compared to a home with a higher label like A or B. The label is an official registration, so it reflects the property's energy performance as recorded, but it doesn't tell you about the specific condition of the insulation or heating system.
