Frequently asked questions
About Pieter Baststraat 4A3, Amsterdam
Is €3,250 per month a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €3,250 is above the neighbourhood average of €2,888 and the median of €2,825 for rental homes. The floor area of 127 m² is 67% larger than the average of 76 m², which explains much of the premium. With only four rental properties currently available in Duivelseiland, the sample is small, so the average is based on limited data.
How does the energy label D affect my heating costs?
Energy label D is in the middle of the scale, so it is neither the most efficient nor the least efficient label. You can expect moderate heating costs compared with a home carrying label A or B. The label is an official registration and does not say anything specific about the condition of the building or its installations.
