The asking price is 17% above the average asking price in Middelland (€548,291) and also above the median of €462,500. However, this apartment is larger than average (120 m² vs 112 m²) and in a sought-after pre-war building. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and character.

The energy label is D. In Middelland, about 20% of homes have a label D or lower, while 30% have label A. A D label means the home is not very energy-efficient, so heating costs could be higher than in a modern home. You may want to consider improvements like insulation or double glazing.
