About Espoortstraat 89, Enschede
The asking price of €200,000 is 32% below the average asking price in De Bothoven (€294,333) and also below the median of €289,000. However, the apartment is smaller than average (50 m² vs 89 m²) and has an energy label F, which means higher energy costs. Given these factors, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a compact, less efficient home in this neighbourhood.
The energy label is F, which is on the lower end of the scale. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity bills compared to a home with a better label. In De Bothoven, most homes for sale have a better energy label: only 23.8% are rated D or lower, so this apartment is less efficient than the neighbourhood average.
