About Okeghemstraat 6-3, Amsterdam
The asking price is 42% below the average asking price in Valeriusbuurt-West (€1,502,190), but the apartment is also smaller than average at 59 m² versus 117 m². The price per m² works out to about €14,830, which is above the neighbourhood average of €12,953 per m². So while the total price looks low, you're paying a premium per square metre for a compact home in a sought-after area.
The energy label is E, which is below average for the neighbourhood. In Valeriusbuurt-West, 42% of homes have label A and 23% have label B, while only 19% are D or lower. An E label means the home is not very energy-efficient, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. The building dates from 1912, so insulation and glazing may need attention.
