Frequently asked questions
About Hof van Edenlaan 5, Drachten
Is €790,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price is €790,000, which is significantly above the average sold price of €314,667 for homes in De Swetten oost. However, this house is much larger (258 m²) and sits on a 1,520 m² plot, whereas recent sales in the neighbourhood were likely smaller properties. The price reflects the exceptional size and the detached nature of the home.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration from EP-Online. Label C is in the middle of the scale, meaning the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. You can expect moderate energy costs, but the exact amount depends on your usage and the heating system.
