Frequently asked questions
About Kortenaerstraat 5A, Groningen
Is €1,500 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,500 is 38% above the neighbourhood average of €1,090 for rental homes.

Whether it is fair depends on what you value, but it is clearly at the upper end of the local market.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This is an official registration, noted in the national energy register. Label D is in the middle of the scale, so it is neither the most efficient nor the least efficient. You can expect moderate energy costs compared with the most efficient homes, but the label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself.
