Frequently asked questions
About Molenstraat 57, Zoetermeer
Is €650,000 a fair price for this detached house?
The asking price is 53% above the neighbourhood average of €423,714, which is a significant premium. However, detached houses are a small segment of the market here, only 52% of homes are single-family, and the average floor area is 85 m², so this 105 m² house with a 263 m² plot is larger than most. The price reflects its rarity and size, but it is on the high side compared to other homes in Dorp.
What does energy label D mean for this home?
Energy label D is the middle of the scale, it is not the most efficient, but also not the worst. In Dorp, 26.1% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly common for a 1931 house. You can expect moderate energy costs, but the exact amount depends on your usage and the heating system. The label is an official registration, not a detailed inspection.
How is the neighbourhood Dorp for daily life?

Is the house in good condition?
