About Libellenstraat 16A, Rotterdam
The asking price of €375,000 is 16% below the average asking price in Kralingen West (€447,367) and also below the median of €395,000. Given the 87 m² floor area, the price per m² is about €4,310, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €5,443 per m². So it's priced keenly, though the energy label G may mean higher running costs.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, indicating poor energy efficiency. In Kralingen West, about 30% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war apartment. You can expect higher heating bills compared to a more efficient home. The exact costs depend on usage and future improvements.
