The asking price is €265,000, which is 36% below the average asking price in Warande-Oost (€412,536). That gap makes sense because this is an apartment, while most homes in the neighbourhood are houses. Compared to other apartments in Bergen op Zoom, the price per square metre (€2,500) is below the neighbourhood average of €3,005, so it's priced keenly.

The energy label is C. That means the home has reasonable insulation and heating efficiency, but it's not as efficient as modern A or B labels. You can expect moderate energy bills, though exact costs depend on usage. In the neighbourhood, 25% of homes have label C, while 33% have A or better.
