About Velperweg 56-2, Arnhem
The asking price of €369,000 is 44% below the average asking price in Molenbeke (€654,800), and also below the average sold price of €521,125 for recent sales in the neighbourhood. However, the apartment is smaller than average (90 m² vs 126 m²) and has an energy label E, which may mean higher running costs. Overall, the price is on the keen side for the area.
The energy label is E. In Molenbeke, 40% of homes for sale have label A+ and 20% have label A, so this home is less efficient than most of the current stock. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a more modern property, but the lower purchase price may offset that.
