About Berthold Brechtstraat 807, Amsterdam
The asking price of €359,000 is in line with the market. The average price per m² in Venserpolder-West is €5,354, and this apartment works out at about €6,411 per m², slightly above average, but the price is still competitive given the location and size. The median price for homes in the neighbourhood is €325,000, so this is above that, but it reflects the specific property.
The energy label is D. This is less efficient than most homes for sale in the neighbourhood, where over 40% have labels A or B. A D label means heating costs will be higher than in a more modern home, but the apartment was built in 1986, so it is not an old building. You can expect reasonable insulation, though improvements could be made.
