About Samuël Leviestraat 85, Leek
The asking price of €415,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €350,000 and also above the maximum of €385,000 for apartments currently for sale in Centrum Leek en omgeving. However, this apartment is larger than the typical apartment in the area (92 m² vs 134 m² average) and has a modern energy label A, which may justify the premium. The market here is not fast-moving, sold properties took an average of 23 days to sell.
The energy label is A, which is very efficient. This means the home has good insulation and modern heating, so you can expect relatively low energy bills compared to older homes. The neighbourhood has no homes built before 1945, and most are from 1945-1970, so an A label is a strong advantage here.
