Auto-translated to English by AILiving in Bocholtz for almost 30 years, but with each passing year, the village is declining. The municipality of Simpelveld always prioritises Simpelveld, despite Bocholtz being larger. Few to no new houses, 0 facilities apart from a neglected supermarket and some takeaway joints, greenery is poorly maintained and nothing is done about the decay of some neighbourhoods.

About Kerkstraat 9, Bocholtz
The asking price of €295,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €318,000 and the median of €325,000. However, the home is 29% smaller than the average sold home in Bocholtz (108 m² vs 153 m²). Given its energy label D and compact size, the price seems in line with the market, not a bargain, but not overpriced either.
The energy label is D. In the neighbourhood, 20% of homes have label D or lower, while 40% have label C and 40% have A or A+. So this home is less efficient than most of the current supply. Expect higher energy bills compared to a home with a better label.
