Frequently asked questions
About Westersingel 18, Drachten
Is €400,000 a fair price for this detached house?
The asking price of €400,000 is above the average sale price of €314,667 for homes sold recently in De Swetten oost. However, that average is based on only three sales, so it's a small sample. The house is larger than many in the area, with a 377 m² plot, which may justify the premium. You'd need to compare with similar detached homes in Drachten to see if it's in line.
What is the energy label D likely to mean for costs?
Energy label D is average for a house of this age (1925). It means the home is not as efficient as modern builds, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a label A or B home. The listing doesn't specify insulation or glazing, so it's worth factoring in potential upgrades. No exact cost figures are available from the data.
