About It Merkelân 33, Beetsterzwaag
The asking price of €500,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €747,500 for detached homes. However, the living area of 101 m² is significantly smaller than the average of 205 m² in the area. The large plot of 902 m² adds value, but the energy label F means higher running costs. Compared to recent sales, the price seems keen.
The energy label is F, which is one of the least efficient ratings. This means the home is poorly insulated and heating costs will be high. In the neighbourhood, 66.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area, but you should budget for significant energy bills.
The plot measures 902 m², which is generous for a detached home. You could potentially extend the home, subject to planning permission, but the current living area is 101 m².
Beetsterzwaag-Merkelân is a quiet, low-density neighbourhood with many older residents. It's a car-dependent area, with the nearest train station 18.4 km away.
