About Kleine Kemp 3, Herten
The asking price of €700,000 is above the neighbourhood average of €630,000 and the median of €620,000. However, this home is much larger than typical properties in Ool, 241 m² versus an average of 162 m², so the price per m² (€2,904) is actually lower than the neighbourhood average of €3,929. Whether it is fair depends on how you value the extra space and the historic character.
Energy label G is the least efficient label, so you can expect high heating costs. The label is an official registration and does not necessarily mean the building is in poor condition, it could be due to the heating system or ventilation. In Ool, all other homes currently for sale have label B, so this house stands out in terms of energy performance.
The house was built in 1875, making it one of the oldest properties in Ool. The listing does not state the condition of the building, so you would need to inspect it yourself. The age adds character but may come with maintenance considerations, though the agent has not provided any details on that.
