Frequently asked questions
About Van Boisotring 27A, Zoetermeer
Is €785,000 a fair price for this home?
The asking price is 58% above the average asking price in Palenstein (€496,125) and is the highest of the 16 homes currently for sale in the neighbourhood. However, this home is also 66% larger than the average (194 m² vs 117 m²) and sits on a generous 297 m² plot. Given its size and the fact that it is a semi-detached house in a neighbourhood where only 31% of homes are single-family, the price is on the high side but reflects the property's specifications.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has energy label C. That is a decent score, not the most efficient, but far from the worst. In Palenstein, over 60% of homes have label A or better, so this one is slightly below the neighbourhood average. You can expect moderate energy costs, but nothing extreme.
