About Emmaweg 6A, Hengelo
The asking price is 54% above the neighbourhood average of €308,000, and it's the most expensive of the five homes currently for sale in Binnenstad-West. However, the apartment is also 31% larger than the average home in the area (106 m² vs 81 m²). Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the central location.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating costs, especially in winter. The home was built in 1922 and likely has poor insulation. It's worth budgeting for significant energy expenses.
