About Roomsterweg 8I, Leek
Is €2,000 per month a fair rent for this home?

What does the energy label C mean for this house?
Energy label C is a mid-range rating on the official scale, which runs from A (most efficient) to G (least efficient). It is an official registration, so it gives an indication of the home's energy performance, but it does not say anything specific about the condition of the building. For a house from 1983, label C is a typical rating, and you can expect moderate energy costs.
How big is the plot and what does it offer?
The plot measures 815 m², which is generous for a detached house in this area. That gives you plenty of outdoor space around the home, though the listing does not specify how it is laid out, such as whether there is a garden or terrace. The size alone suggests room for outdoor activities or simply space to enjoy.

How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 14 kilometres away, so it is not within walking distance. You would need to drive or take a bus to reach it, but the exact bus connections are not detailed here. For daily commuting, this is a factor to consider, though the area is well served by roads.
