Frequently asked questions
About Van Heuven Goedhartplein 717, Utrecht
Is €1,525 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is 14% below the neighbourhood average of €1,782, but the floor area is 38% smaller than the typical 80 m² in Kanaleneiland-Noord. On a per-square-metre basis, you are paying more than the average for the area. The modern build and A++ energy label are part of what you are paying for, so it comes down to whether the efficiency and newness matter more to you than extra space.
What does the A++ energy label mean for my energy bills?
An A++ label is the most efficient category available, so the home is designed to keep energy consumption very low. That means heating and electricity costs should be modest compared with older or less efficient properties. The label is an official registration, and it reflects the building's overall energy performance, which for a 2020 build is excellent.
