About Westplantsoen 88, Delft
The asking price of €489,000 is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €478,630, but this apartment is larger than the typical 96 m². Given the 116 m² floor area and the classic 1939 build, the price is in line with the market. The median price in Olofsbuurt is €395,000, so this is a premium property.
The energy label is C, which is average for a pre-war apartment. It means the home has some insulation but is not as efficient as modern builds. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme. In Olofsbuurt, 38% of homes have label C, and 43% are below that.
