The location in Wormerveer West, with a train station nearby, adds value, but the price is on the high side compared to similar homes in the area.

The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs. You can expect significant expenses for gas and electricity. It's worth considering whether you want to invest in improvements like double glazing or insulation, which could raise the label and lower bills.
