At 93 m² and with an energy label D, the price of €395,000 is in line with what other apartments in Katwijk are going for. The neighbourhood is well established, and the home is a traditional build from 1955. You are paying for a solid floor area in a quiet, safe part of town.
The energy label is D, which is average for a home from 1955. It means the property is not particularly energy efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a modern home. Insulation and heating systems are likely older, but the label is stated by the seller.
