About Vollebregtshof 1, Leiden
At €475,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Academiewijk and 66% below the neighbourhood's average asking price of €1,385,417. However, the floor area is 58 m², 72% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 205 m², and the energy label is G, so you'll have significant renovation costs. The price reflects the home's condition and size.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. You can expect high heating and electricity bills. The entire neighbourhood has homes built before 1945, and all current listings have labels D or lower. Renovating to improve the label could reduce long-term costs.
