About Wasstraat 64, Leiden
The asking price of €875,000 is 17% below the average asking price in the Burgemeesterswijk (€1,049,462).

The home has energy label C. In the Burgemeesterswijk, 50% of homes have label C, and 33.3% have label A. Label C is average for a pre-war house; you can expect moderate energy costs. The home was built in 1930, so it may have original features but also some draughts. The listing does not mention double glazing or insulation, so you would need to check those details.
