At €175,000, this studio was the cheapest of the 55 homes at the time for sale in Oud Mathenesse. The average asking price in the neighbourhood was €274,900, so this was 36% below that.

The price per square metre worked out at about €4,605, which was slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,177 per m².
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This meant the home was not energy-efficient and heating costs were likely to be high. In Oud Mathenesse, 58.2% of homes have a label D or lower, so a G label is at the bottom end. You should expect higher energy bills compared to a more efficient home.
