About Lorentzkade 60RD, Haarlem
The asking price is 41% above the neighbourhood average of €388,000, but the apartment is also 105% larger than the average home in the area (150 m² vs 73 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €3,660, which is below the neighbourhood average of €5,815 per m². So while the total price is high, you are getting significantly more space for your money.
The energy label is F, which is on the low end of the scale. This means the home is not very energy-efficient, so heating costs are likely to be higher than in a home with a better label.
