Frequently asked questions
About W. Schweitzerlaan 5, Heerlen
Is €895,000 a fair price for this detached home?

The price per square metre works out at about €3,390, compared to the neighbourhood average of €2,303. Given the size and type, the price is on the high side but reflects what you get.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has energy label C. That means it is reasonably efficient but not top-of-the-line. You can expect moderate energy costs, though exact amounts depend on usage. In the neighbourhood, 33% of homes have label A and 67% have label C, so this is in line with the local stock.
How far is the nearest train station?
