Frequently asked questions
About Hobokenstraat 525, Breda
Is €870 per month a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €870 per month for an 85 square metre apartment in Wisselaar is in line with what you would expect in this part of Breda. The energy label is E, which is on the lower end of the scale, so heating costs are likely to be noticeable. The neighbourhood itself has a mix of housing, and the flat's size is generous for the price.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is E. This is an official registration that indicates the home's energy performance. A label E is less efficient than the higher labels, so you can expect higher energy costs compared to a home with a better label. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only about its energy efficiency.
