Frequently asked questions
About Joost Banckertsplaats 90, Rotterdam
Was €1,528 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent was 36% below the neighbourhood average of €2,393, which made it noticeably cheaper than most rentals in Cool. The average price per square metre in the area was €28.73, while this home worked out at about €18 per square metre. Given the size and central location, the rent was on the low side compared with what was typically asked in this part of Rotterdam.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration, recorded in the national energy label database. A C label is in the middle of the scale, so it is neither the most efficient nor the least efficient. It gives an indication of the home's energy performance, but the label itself does not say anything about the condition of the building or its installations.
