Frequently asked questions
About Sabapad 10, Haarlem
Is €1,565 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,565 is above the neighbourhood average of €1,451 and well above the median of €1,228. However, this is a new-build apartment from 2023 with an A+++ energy label, which is rare in the area.

Given the modern build and efficiency, the premium over the average seems reasonable.
What does the A+++ energy label mean for my energy bills?
An A+++ label is the highest efficiency rating a home can achieve.
