About Laan van Meerestein 2A, Beverwijk
The asking price of €275,000 is in line with the market for a 73 m² apartment in Overbos. The neighbourhood has a high percentage of owner-occupied homes, which suggests stable demand. Without specific comparable sales data, it's hard to say if it's a bargain, but the price per square metre is reasonable for Beverwijk.
The apartment has energy label C, which is average for a home built in 1978. You can expect moderate energy costs, not as low as a modern A-label home, but not excessively high either.
