Frequently asked questions
About Tuinen 42B, Leeuwarden
Was €1,250 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent of €1,250 was the highest among the four rentals at the time available in the Hoek, where the average asking rent was €1,123 and the median was €1,182. With 80 m², the price per square metre worked out to about €15.63, which was in line with the neighbourhood average. So it is at the upper end of the local market, but not out of step with what similar apartments go for.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is B, which is an official registration from EP-Online. A B label indicated a reasonably efficient home, meaning energy costs were likely to be moderate compared with less efficient properties.
