About Rolderstraat 4, Assen
At €375,000 this is the most expensive home currently for sale in Galgenveld, and 35% above the neighbourhood average asking price of €278,333. However, it is also 44% larger than the average apartment in the area (108 m² vs 75 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €3,472, which is below the neighbourhood average of €3,806 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting more space for your money.
The energy label is F, which is one of the lower ratings. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In Galgenveld, 20% of homes have label D or lower, so an F label is at the lower end. It may be worth considering improvements such as insulation or double glazing to reduce energy bills.

The building dates from 1863, making it one of the older properties in the neighbourhood. In Galgenveld, 20% of homes were built before 1945, so this fits that category.
