Frequently asked questions
About Valkstraat 42, Drachten
Is €400,000 a fair price for this semi-detached house?
The asking price of €400,000 is below the average sale price of €528,333 for the three homes recently sold in Noord-Oost oost. However, those sales may have been larger or differently positioned. Given the 113 m² floor area, 285 m² plot, and A energy label, the price appears keen relative to the local market.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has an A energy label, which is very efficient. This means heating costs are likely to be low, and the property is well-insulated. In the neighbourhood, all sold homes in the recent data had a B label, so this A label is a step above the local norm.
How far is the nearest train station?
The nearest train station is 18.6 km away, so this home is not ideal for a daily train commute. A car or bus would be needed for longer journeys.
What schools are nearby?
Several primary schools are within walking distance: JKC de Wiekslag at 327 m, Eben Haezer at 349 m, OBS De Kameleon at 376 m, and Het Mozaïek at 399 m. For secondary education, the nearest school is 0.6 km away.
How safe is the neighbourhood?
The neighbourhood recorded 80 total crimes in the latest data. Without a breakdown, it is hard to assess the type or severity. A visit at different times of day can give a better feel for safety.
What is the plot size used for?
The plot is 285 m², which is generous for a semi-detached house. It likely includes a garden and possibly a driveway, but the listing does not specify the layout. You can see the outdoor space during a viewing.
How many bedrooms does this home have?
The listing does not state the number of bedrooms. With 113 m² of living space, a typical semi-detached house of this size would have three or four bedrooms, but you would need to check the floor plan with the agent.
