Frequently asked questions

The rent is 35% above the neighbourhood average of €2,779, and the floor area of 104 m² is 32% larger than the average of 79 m². So you are paying a premium for a larger-than-average apartment in a popular area. Whether that feels fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the classic character of the building.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is G, which is the least efficient label on the scale. This means you can expect high energy costs for heating and electricity. The label is an official registration, but it does not say anything about the condition of the building itself. It is simply a reflection of the home's energy performance.
