Frequently asked questions
About Mijnsherenlaan 118D, Rotterdam
Is €250,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €250,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €281,491 and the median of €264,000. Given that the floor area is 26% smaller than the typical 77 m² in Tarwewijk, the price per m² works out at about €4,386, which is above the neighbourhood average of €3,789 per m². So it's priced keenly overall, but the smaller size means a higher per-square-metre cost.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has energy label B, which is efficient. In Tarwewijk, only about 16.4% of homes have label B, while 37.7% have label D or lower. So this apartment is better insulated than many in the area, meaning lower heating costs to expect.
