About Bornsestraat 16, Hengelo
The asking price is 31% below the neighbourhood average of €399,667, which makes it a keen offer. However, the floor area (66 m²) is 42% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 114 m², and the energy label G means higher running costs. The price reflects the compact size and older construction, so it is in line with what you get.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs to expect. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a 1910 house. You may want to budget for energy improvements.
The train station is 1.7 km away, about a ten-minute walk. This makes commuting by rail convenient from Tichelwerk.
