About Valkenburgerlaan 111, Boskoop
The asking price is 17% above the average asking price in Biezen-West (€590,273), but this home is also 27% larger than the neighbourhood average (158 m² vs 124 m²). The price per square metre works out to about €4,361, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €4,655. So the price is in line with what you'd expect for a home of this size and type in this area.
The home has an energy label E. That means it's not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating bills compared to a home with a better label.

You may want to consider improvements like insulation or double glazing to reduce energy costs.
