About Zeilstraat 24-2, Amsterdam
The asking price is 64% above the neighbourhood average of €776,169, which is a significant premium. However, the average price per m² in the neighbourhood is €10,720, and this apartment works out at about €23,611 per m², well above that. The price reflects the location and the fact that apartments in this part of Amsterdam rarely come to market. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the address and the compact footprint.
At 54 m², this apartment is 30% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 77 m². Most homes in Schinkelbuurt-Noord are pre-war and tend to be larger, so this is a relatively compact unit. The smaller size is offset by the central location and the building's classic character.
The energy label is B, which is good for a pre-war building. In the neighbourhood, 16% of homes have label A and 20% have label B, so this apartment is above average in efficiency. You can expect reasonable heating costs, though older buildings always require some attention to insulation.
