Frequently asked questions
About Van de Veldelaan 724, Alkmaar
Was €963 a fair rent for this flat?
The rent was €963 per month, which was about 29% below the neighbourhood average of €1,365. The flat was 53 m², which was smaller than the typical rental in the area, so the lower price reflected the smaller size. It was a social housing listing, which also plays a role in the rent level.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration, recorded in the national energy label database. A C label is in the middle of the scale, meaning the home is neither the most nor the least efficient. It gave an indication of expected energy costs, but the label itself didn't say anything about the condition of the building.
