About Scherhemstraat 11, Sneek
At €195,000, this apartment is the cheapest of the six homes currently for sale in Lemmerweg-West and sits 42% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €337,500. Given that the average price per square metre in the area is €17,782, this 76 m² flat works out at about €2,566 per m², which is well below that average. The low price likely reflects the condition of the home and the neighbourhood's challenges, as noted in resident reviews.
The energy label is D. This is a moderate rating, meaning the home is not particularly energy-efficient. Heating costs are likely to be higher than in a home with a label A or B. In the neighbourhood, 42.9% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area. You may want to consider potential improvements, but the listing does not specify any recent upgrades.
