The asking price of €550,000 is above the average sale price of €518,333 for homes sold recently in Leidsebuurt-west. That average is based on 12 sales, so it gives a good indication. Corner houses often command a premium, and the 92 m² floor area and 77 m² plot are in line with what you'd expect. Whether it's fair depends on how much you value the corner position and the character of a 1924 home.

The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. It means the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it's worth checking the specific insulation and heating details with the agent.
