About Wilhelminakanaalstraat 1, Best
At €355,000, this semi-detached house is the cheapest of the four homes currently for sale in Batadorp. The average asking price in the neighbourhood is €566,000, so this home is 37% below that. However, the floor area (90 m²) is 36% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 141 m², and the energy label G means higher running costs. The price reflects the need for modernisation.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and high heating costs to expect. In Batadorp, 80% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for the area. You should budget for significant energy bills and consider improvements like insulation or double glazing.
The plot is 287 m², which is generous for a semi-detached house. The listing does not specify a garden, but the plot size suggests outdoor space. You could potentially extend the home (subject to planning permission) or create a garden. The exact layout and condition of the outdoor area are not described.
