Gedempte Oude Gracht 82B

The asking price is 32% below the average asking price in Heiliglanden (€581,600) and is the lowest of the five homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, the apartment is smaller than average (56 m² vs 77 m²) and has an F energy label, which means higher energy costs. Compared to similar-sized homes in the area, the price per m² (€7,054) is below the neighbourhood average of €7,807, so it's priced keenly for a central location.

The energy label is F, which is poor. In Heiliglanden, 80% of homes for sale have label A or better, so this apartment is an exception. An F label typically means the home has little or no insulation and an older heating system, so you can expect higher gas and electricity bills. It's worth factoring that into your budget.
