Frequently asked questions
About Markt 21, Burgum
Is €703 a month a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €703 is set for a social housing unit, which means it is below what you would typically pay on the open market. The average rent in the neighbourhood is much higher, but that figure is based on larger homes. Given the 79 m² floor area and the central location on the Markt, the price is in line with what you would expect for a social rental in Burgum.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. A B label indicates a reasonably efficient home, so you can expect moderate energy costs. The label does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, but it is a good starting point for estimating your monthly outgoings.
