About Turftorenstraat 5B, Groningen
The asking price is 21% below the average asking price in Binnenstad-Noord (€469,618) and also below the median of €389,000. Given the 108 m² floor area, the price per m² is about €3,417, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €4,124 per m². So it is priced keenly compared to other listings in the area.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency. The home likely has single glazing and insufficient insulation, so heating costs will be higher than in a modern home. In Binnenstad-Noord, 27.3% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war apartment. You should budget for significant energy expenses.
Binnenstad-Noord is very central. Supermarkets like Albert Heijn are within a few minutes' walk, and there are many cafes and restaurants on your doorstep.
