About Grotestraat 4, Almelo
The asking price of €210,000 is 39% below the average asking price in Binnenstad Noord (€342,500) and also below the median of €289,500. Given the 77 m² floor area, that works out to about €2,727 per m², while the neighbourhood average is €3,512 per m². So it's priced on the low side, which may reflect the E energy label and the fact that it's a pre-war apartment.
Energy label E is below average for homes in the Netherlands. It means the apartment is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating and electricity costs compared to a home with a better label.
