About Snekerpoort 1, Bolsward
The asking price of €349,500 is 24% below the average asking price in the neighbourhood, which is €460,864. However, the apartment is also smaller than average at 92 m² versus 180 m². The price per square metre works out to about €3,800, which is above the neighbourhood average of €3,080 per m². So while the total price is low, you are paying a premium per square metre for a smaller, historic home in the centre.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a property of this age. It means the home is reasonably well-insulated but not as efficient as modern builds. You can expect moderate energy bills, but no extreme costs. In the neighbourhood, 26.1% of homes have label C, while 43.5% have a lower label (D or worse), so this home is slightly better than many older properties in the area.
The nearest train station is 10.5 km away, so it is not within walking distance. You would need a car, bike or bus to reach it.
