About Dalkruid 1, Veenendaal
The asking price is 18% above the average for Petenbos Oost, but this home is also 30% larger than the neighbourhood average (183 m² vs 141 m²). Detached houses are uncommon in this area, and the large plot and energy label B add to the value. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and privacy compared to the semi-detached or terraced homes that are more typical here.
Energy label B means the home is well insulated and should have moderate energy bills. In Petenbos Oost, 75% of homes have label B, so this is in line with the neighbourhood. You can expect reasonable heating and electricity costs, though exact amounts depend on usage and energy prices.
