Frequently asked questions
About Gysbert Japicxstraat 44, Leeuwarden
Was €450,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price was 21% above the average for the neighbourhood (€372,542), but this was a large corner house of 167 m², while the neighbourhood average was 139 m². The price per m² worked out to about €2,695, which was below the neighbourhood average of €2,933 per m². So you are paying more overall but getting more space for your money.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has energy label C. That is a decent score for a house built in 1905. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label C, and 30% have label A. Label C meant reasonable insulation and moderate energy costs, but not as efficient as a modern home.
