Frequently asked questions
About Boksdoornerf 249, Tilburg
Was €667 a fair price for this room?
The rent of €667 was well below the average for the neighbourhood, which stood at €2,183 for all rental properties. However, this is a room of 34 m², much smaller than the average rental home in the area. The price per square metre worked out to about €19.6, which was higher than the neighbourhood average of €16.8 per m², reflecting the premium often seen for smaller units.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration that indicates the energy performance of the home as recorded in the national database. A C label was in the middle of the scale, meaning energy costs were likely to be moderate, but the label itself did not tell you about the condition of the building or its installations.
