About Verlaatstraat 2, Breda
The asking price of €450,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €523,300 and the median of €537,000. However, it's above the minimum of €389,000. Given the 134 m² floor area, the price per m² works out to about €3,358, which is significantly lower than the neighbourhood average of €4,830 per m². So it's priced keenly for the size.
The home has energy label E. This is less efficient than newer homes, so you can expect higher heating costs. In the neighbourhood, 44.4% of homes have label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war property. You may want to consider energy-saving improvements.
The nearest train station is 2.4 km away, which is about a 30-minute walk or a short cycle ride. This makes commuting by train feasible but not within walking distance for most people.
There are several schools within walking distance. The closest is Brederocollege HAVO (secondary special education) at 217 m, followed by Het Brederocollege VMBO at 426 m. For primary education, Kbs De Weerijs is 584 m away and Kbs Petrus & Paulus is 602 m away. All are within a ten-minute walk.
Currently, there are 10 homes for sale in the neighbourhood, which is a limited supply. In the past period, 14 homes were sold, with an average selling time of 31 days. This suggests a fairly active market.
