Frequently asked questions
About Westerdijk 12A, Utrecht
Is €2,295 a fair rent for this apartment?
The rent is 19% above the neighbourhood average of €1,922. The apartment is 60 m², which is 38% smaller than the average of 97 m² in the area. So you are paying a premium for a smaller space, though the A energy label and the 2003 build year are both positives. Whether that feels fair depends on how much you value the modern, efficient setup.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient rating on the scale. This means the home is officially registered as very energy-efficient, so you can expect relatively low heating costs compared to homes with lower labels.
