Frequently asked questions
About Nieuwe Dieststraat 138, Breda
Was €680 a fair price for this room?
The rent of €680 was well below the average for rental properties in Schorsmolen, which sat at €1,506. That average includes full apartments and houses, so it's not a direct comparison, but it does put this room at the lower end of the market. Given the central location and the size, the price looked keen.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration, recorded in the national energy label register. It gives an indication of the energy efficiency of the home, but it doesn't say anything about the condition of the building itself.
How far is the train station?

What are the neighbours like in Schorsmolen?

Another says the neighbourhood is safe and close to shops, though bicycles can be a nuisance during events. A third, who has lived here for six years, reports no unpleasant experiences. It's a varied picture.
Is this a social housing room?
