About Esschilderstraat 35RD, Haarlem
The asking price of €725,000 is 37% below the average asking price in Welgelegen (€1,154,167) and also below the median of €799,000. However, the apartment is 34% smaller than the neighbourhood average (107 m² vs 161 m²). Recently sold homes in the area went for an average of €837,750, so the price appears keen relative to the market, but the smaller size should be factored in.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age (built in 1922). In Welgelegen, over 63% of homes have label A or better, so this one is less efficient than many neighbours. You can expect moderate heating costs, but nothing extreme.
