About Plantsoenstraat 43, Doetinchem
The asking price of €289,000 is 25% below the average asking price in the Stadscentrum (€386,000). However, the apartment is also smaller than average: 70 m² versus 117 m². The price per m² works out to about €4,129, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €3,350 per m². So while the total price is low, you're paying a premium per square metre for a compact home in the centre.
Energy label F is one of the least efficient labels, so you can expect relatively high heating and electricity costs. The label is an official registration (EP-Online) and reflects the overall energy performance of the home. In the Stadscentrum, most homes for sale have better labels: only 14% are label D or lower. It's worth factoring in higher monthly energy costs when budgeting.
