Frequently asked questions
About Espoortstraat 257-312, Enschede
Is €707 per month a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €707 is significantly below the neighbourhood average of €1,595 for rental homes. The average price per square metre in De Bothoven is €14.91, while this apartment works out at about €13.09 per m². Given the compact size and the local market, the rent is on the low side compared with what is typically asked in the area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration, recorded in the national energy label register. A C label sits in the middle of the scale, so it is neither the most efficient nor the least efficient. The label reflects the building's energy performance, but it does not say anything specific about the condition of the property itself.
How big is this apartment?
The living area is 54 m². That is about half the size of the average rental home in De Bothoven, which comes in at 107 m². The apartment is compact, so it is best suited to someone who does not need a lot of space. The listing does not state the number of rooms, so the layout is not specified.

How quickly do rental homes in this area go?
