About Vlietlaan 89, Rotterdam
The asking price is about 20% below the average asking price in Kralingen West (€469,833) and also under the median of €400,000. Given the 78 m² floor area, that works out to roughly €4,808 per m², compared to the neighbourhood average of €5,337 per m². So it's priced keenly, likely reflecting the need for modernisation and the E energy label.
The home has an energy label E, which is below average for the neighbourhood (where 20.5% have label A and 15.1% label B). An E label means higher energy costs for heating and electricity, so you should budget for that. In Kralingen West, 31.5% of homes have label D or lower, so it's not unusual for a pre-war building.
