About Van Oldenbarneveltplaats 14C, Rotterdam
Is €2,150 a fair rent for this apartment?
At €2,150 per month, this apartment is priced slightly below the average rent of €2,306 for rentals in the Cool area, and just above the median of €2,100. Given the 120 m² floor area, the price per square metre works out to about €17.92, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €27.06 per m². So it's a competitive rate for the size and location.
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 indicates a reasonably efficient home, meaning you can expect moderate energy costs compared to less efficient properties. It's a good sign for a 1976 build, though the label itself doesn't detail the specific insulation or heating systems in place.
