About Sweelinckstraat 92, Vlaardingen
The asking price of €239,000 is 30% below the neighbourhood average of €342,987. However, the apartment is also smaller than average, 50 m² versus 104 m².

The home has energy label C. This is a middle-of-the-road rating: the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy bills, though the exact amount depends on your usage. In the neighbourhood, about 24% of homes have label C, while 43% have a lower rating (D or below).
