Frequently asked questions
About Schandelerstraat 49, Heerlen
Is €599,000 a fair price for this detached house?
The asking price is €599,000, which is 129% above the average asking price in Schandelen (€261,346). However, this home is also much larger than average: 320 m² versus 128 m². The price per square metre works out at about €1,872, which is below the neighbourhood average of €2,331 per m². So while the total price is high, you get significantly more space for your money.
What does energy label G mean for my bills?
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating and electricity costs.
