About De Groene zoom 75, Drachten

The rent of €847 per month was set for a social housing apartment, which meant it was regulated and tied to the property's characteristics. In the local market, this is a typical level for a social rental of this size. The price reflected the social housing status, so it was not a market-rate rent.

The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only about its energy performance.
