About Achterlaan 3, Castricum
The price is on the high side compared to other detached homes in Castricum, but the large plot of 1025 m² is unusual and adds value. The energy label G means high running costs, which may affect the overall value. Without comparable sales data for the immediate neighbourhood, it is hard to say exactly how fair the price is.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high heating and electricity bills. The house was built in 1960 and likely has poor insulation, single glazing and an old heating system. Renovations could improve the label significantly.
The plot is 1025 m², which is very large for a detached house in this area. The listing does not specify how much of that is garden, but there is certainly plenty of outdoor space. You could have a large lawn, patio, vegetable beds or even a small orchard.
