About Molendijk 6-01, Lichtenvoorde
The price is on the high side compared to other apartments in Oost Gelre, but this unit is larger than average at 117 m² and has a central location in Lichtenvoorde. The energy label B also helps keep running costs moderate. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value space and a town-centre setting.
The energy label is B, which means the home is reasonably efficient. You can expect lower heating costs than older homes with labels E, F or G, but it's not as efficient as a modern A++++ property. The exact consumption will depend on your usage.
