Frequently asked questions
About Bankastraat 56, 'S-Gravenhage
Was €2,800 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €2,800 was slightly above the average of €2,765 for rentals in the Archipelbuurt, where the median was €2,650. With 125 square metres, the price per square metre worked out to about €22.40, which was below the neighbourhood average of €27.43 per square metre. So while the total is a touch higher than average, the larger floor area makes it a reasonable figure.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This is an official registration, noted in the national energy register. Label D sat in the middle of the scale, meaning energy costs would be moderate compared to the most efficient homes, but lower than the least efficient ones. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
