About Bernhardus Bumastraat 30, Leeuwarden
The asking price of €245,000 is 43% below the average asking price in Achter de Hoven (€426,615) and also below the median of €405,000. However, the house has an energy label F and is from 1926, so it likely needs investment in insulation and heating. Compared to similar corner houses in Leeuwarden, it is priced keenly, but factor in renovation costs.
Energy label F indicates poor energy efficiency. In a neighbourhood where 85% of homes have label A or better, this house will have higher heating and electricity bills. You can expect significant heat loss through walls, windows and roof. Improving the label would require substantial investment in insulation, double glazing and possibly a new heating system.
