The difference is notable, but the asking price is also higher than the average asking price in the neighbourhood, which is €412,500. Whether this is justified depends on the condition and features of the home, which are not fully detailed in the listing.

The energy label is A, which is an efficient label. This means the home is likely to have relatively low energy costs compared to less efficient labels.

What is the foundation risk for this property?
The foundation risk indication for this address is low, and the soil type is sand. This is an area-level indication based on public data, not an inspection of this specific home.
