The asking price of €599,000 is above the neighbourhood median of €440,000, but the median is based on all sold homes, which include smaller properties. The average price per m² in Lochem-Zuid is €4,662, and with 119 m², that would give €554,778, so the price is a bit higher than average. The large plot of 659 m² and the detached type justify some premium, but it is on the high side compared to recent sales.

The home has energy label E. In Lochem-Zuid, 46.7% of homes have label A+ or better, so this house is less efficient than most. An E label means higher energy costs for heating and electricity, so you should budget for that. The house was built in 1975, so insulation may not be up to modern standards.

The plot is 659 m², which is generous for a detached house in this area. It gives you a large garden space, but the exact layout and condition are not described in the listing. You would have plenty of room for outdoor activities, gardening, or possibly extending the house, subject to planning permission.

Lochem-Zuid is a quiet, residential area with mostly single-family homes and a high proportion of owner-occupiers (83%).

It has a moderate urbanity level, so it is not too busy.

The train station is 2.3 km from the house, which is about a 5-10 minute bike ride or a 25-minute walk. This makes it feasible for commuting, though you would likely cycle or drive to the station.
