Frequently asked questions
About KNSM-laan 701, Amsterdam
Was €765,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €765,000 was slightly above the neighbourhood average of €736,050 and the median of €724,500. However, at 105 m² it was larger than the average sold apartment in the area (90 m²), and the price per m² of €7,286 was below the neighbourhood average of €9,036. So the price was in line with the market given the size and energy efficiency.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The apartment has energy label A, which is very efficient. This meant heating and electricity costs were likely to be low compared to older homes. In the neighbourhood, 52.4% of homes have label A, so this is a common and desirable rating.
