About Blasiusstraat 8H, Amsterdam
The asking price is 39% above the average asking price in Weesperzijde-Noord (€757,524). However, this apartment is also 105% larger than the neighbourhood average of 79 m². The price per square metre works out to about €6,481, which is below the neighbourhood average of €10,003 per m², so you are getting more space for your money, even if the total price is high.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency. In a neighbourhood where most homes have better labels (over 40% are label A), this apartment will likely have higher heating and electricity costs. The building dates from 1887, so insulation and glazing may be original. Budget for significant energy expenses, though exact amounts depend on usage and future upgrades.
