About Ward Bingleystraat 15H, Amsterdam
The asking price of €375,000 is 26% below the average asking price in the Jacques Veltmanbuurt (€509,286). However, the apartment is also smaller than average (55 m² vs 81 m²). The price per square metre works out at roughly €6,818, which is close to the neighbourhood average of €6,678 per m². So the price is in line with the local market when you account for size.
The energy label is D. This is a mid-range label, not particularly efficient, but not the worst either. In the neighbourhood, 46.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is typical for the area. You can expect moderate heating costs, but nothing extreme.
The nearest train station is 1.6 km away, which is about a 20-minute walk or a 5-minute cycle. This makes commuting by train feasible but not doorstep-convenient.
