About Heiligegeeststeeg 1, Doesburg
The asking price of €475,000 is 22% below the neighbourhood average of €611,194, which makes it keen. However, the floor area of 91 m² is 52% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 190 m², so the price per square metre is actually higher than average. The energy label G also means higher running costs. Overall, the price is in line with the market given the smaller size and poor energy performance.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and heating costs will be high.

You should expect significant energy bills and consider whether you want to invest in improvements.
The house was built in 1875, so it is nearly 150 years old. The energy label G suggests that insulation and heating systems are outdated. The listing does not mention any renovations, so you should assume the property needs updating. The compact plot of 43 m² means there is limited outdoor space.
