About Dorpstraat 35, Buchten
The asking price of €460,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €410,100 and the median of €349,500. However, this home is larger than average (205 m² vs 185 m²) and has a large plot. The price per m² is about €2,244, which is close to the neighbourhood average of €2,257. Given the age and energy label, the price is on the high side.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 57% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not uncommon for an older property. Improvements like insulation and double glazing could reduce energy bills.
The house was built in 1800, making it over 220 years old. The listing does not mention the condition, so you would need to view it to assess maintenance. In the neighbourhood, 20% of homes were built before 1945, so older properties are not unusual here.
