About Lokveenweg 31, Haren (Gr)
The asking price is 43% above the neighbourhood average of €506,909, but the home is also 32% larger than the average (162 m² vs 123 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €4,475, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,270. Given the large plot, pre-war character and energy label E, the price is on the high side but reflects the home's size and location.
The home has energy label E, which means it is not very energy-efficient. You can expect higher heating costs compared to a home with a better label. In the neighbourhood, 39.4% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war house. Improvements like insulation or double glazing could improve the label and reduce bills.
The plot is 565 m², which includes the house and the garden. The garden is not described in detail in the listing, but a plot of this size typically offers a good-sized private outdoor space. Given the semi-detached nature, you can expect a front and back garden.
