About Piet Gijzenbrugstraat 18-2, Amsterdam
Was €940,000 a fair price for this apartment?

The price per square metre worked out at roughly €8,319, which was below the neighbourhood average of €9,781 per m². So while the total price was high, you were getting more space for your money compared to other homes in the area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration (EP-Online). It did not necessarily indicate the condition of the insulation or heating system, but it was a good starting point for estimating running costs.
