Frequently asked questions
About Groeneweg 70A, Zwolle
Is €616 per month a fair rent for this apartment?

What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is E, which is an official registration in the Netherlands. It indicates the energy performance of the home as recorded at the time of assessment.
