About Nobelweg 7-1, Amsterdam
The asking price is 29% below the neighbourhood average of €837,000, and the floor area of 102 m² is 42% larger than the average of 72 m². Given the lower energy label (F) and the pre-war construction, the price is keen compared to other homes in Don Bosco. However, the final value depends on your own assessment of the property's condition and the costs of upgrading the energy efficiency.
The energy label is F, which is low on the efficiency scale. This means the home is likely to have higher heating costs compared to a property with a better label. In the neighbourhood, all available homes for sale have label B or better, so this apartment stands out as less efficient. You may want to consider potential improvements such as insulation or double glazing.
