Frequently asked questions
About Boergoensevliet 41A, Rotterdam
Is €1,650 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,650 is below the average of €1,736 for rentals in Oud Charlois, and the median is €1,825. With a floor area of 60 m², the price per square metre works out to €27.50, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €20.21 per m². So while the total rent is in line with the market, the smaller size means you pay more per square metre.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This is an official registration, recorded in the national EP-Online database. Label D sits in the middle of the scale, meaning the home is neither particularly efficient nor the least efficient. You can expect moderate energy costs, but the label itself does not say anything about the condition of the building or its installations.
How far is the nearest train station?
