Frequently asked questions
About Ceresstraat 53, Assen
Is €865 per month a fair rent for this apartment?

What does the D energy label mean for my energy costs?
The D label is the official energy performance rating registered for this home. It sits in the middle of the scale, so you can expect moderate energy costs compared to the most efficient homes.
