The average rent in the Centrum neighbourhood is €1,950, but that figure is based on a single listing with a much larger floor area of 184 m². This apartment is 73 m², so the price per square metre works out to about €22.70, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €10.60 per m². The modern build and energy label A help justify the figure.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient category. This means the home is designed to keep energy consumption low, so you can expect relatively modest heating and electricity bills compared to less efficient properties. The label is an official registration, so it reflects the building's energy performance as assessed at the time of construction. It is a strong indicator of long-term cost efficiency.
