Frequently asked questions
About Zuidvliet 538, Leeuwarden
Was €185,000 a fair price for this apartment?
The asking price of €185,000 was 32% below the neighbourhood average of €271,750, which made it a keen price. However, the apartment is also smaller than average: 61 m² versus 102 m² in the neighbourhood. The price per m² worked out at about €3,033, which was slightly above the neighbourhood average of €2,902 per m². So you're paying a bit more per square metre, but the total price was low.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The apartment has energy label C. That means it's reasonably efficient, not the best, but not the worst either. You can expect moderate energy bills. In the neighbourhood, 36.4% of homes have label C, while 40.9% have a lower label (D or worse). So this home is about average for the area.

What supermarkets and schools are nearby?
