About Frankenhorst 25C, Sassenheim
The asking price of €350,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €300,000, but this apartment is also larger than average (75 m² vs 48 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €4,667, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €6,250 per m². So while the total price is higher, you are getting more space for your money.
The energy label is D. For a home built in 1962, this is fairly typical. It means the property is not as energy efficient as modern homes, so heating costs will be higher than with a label A or B home. In the neighbourhood, all other homes currently for sale have label C, so this one is a step behind.
