About Vroedschapstraat 5, Gorinchem
The asking price of €750,000 is on the high side compared to other detached homes in Gorinchem. However, the plot of 843 m² is unusually large for a house in this neighbourhood, which partly explains the premium. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra outdoor space.
Energy label D indicates moderate energy efficiency. The home was built in 1960, so insulation and heating may not be up to modern standards. You can expect higher energy bills compared to a home with label A or B, but the exact costs depend on usage and any improvements you make.
