Frequently asked questions
About Jacob van Lennepstraat 258D, Amsterdam
Is €405,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €405,000 is about 25% below the neighbourhood average of €536,800. However, the apartment is compact at 47 m² and has an energy label G, which means higher energy costs. The price per m² works out to about €8,617, which is below the neighbourhood average of €10,022 per m². So it's priced keenly, but the low energy label is a factor to consider.
What does energy label G mean for this home?
Energy label G is the least efficient label, so you can expect high heating and electricity costs. The label is an official registration from EP-Online. In the Borgerbuurt, most homes for sale have better labels (33% A, 50% B), so this apartment stands out as less efficient.

The nearest train station is 3.2 km away, so it's not within walking distance. The high address density suggests good public transport links.
