About Kerkstraat 7, Hellevoetsluis
The asking price is 16% below the average asking price in De Vesting (€472,917) and also below the median of €479,250. Given the 116 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €3,440, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €4,726 per m². This suggests the price is on the keen side, especially considering the historic character of the building.
The home has energy label C. This is a reasonable rating, it means the home is moderately energy-efficient. You can expect lower heating costs than a home with label D or lower, but it is not as efficient as a modern A-label property. In De Vesting, all homes in the sample have label A or A+, so this apartment is less efficient than most in the neighbourhood.
The apartment was built in 1839, making it one of the oldest properties in De Vesting. In the neighbourhood, no other homes in the sample date from before 1945, most were built after 2010. An older home often means solid construction and character features, but you may need to budget for maintenance and potentially less insulation than a newer build.
