Frequently asked questions
About Korte Mare 34G, Leiden
Is €225,000 a fair price for this studio?
The asking price is €225,000, which is 68% below the neighbourhood average of €702,727. However, this studio is only 28 m², while the average home in Noordvest is 112 m². So the price per square metre is actually higher than the neighbourhood average. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value a compact home in the city centre.
What does energy label G mean for my costs?
Energy label G is the least efficient label, so you can expect relatively high heating and energy costs. The label is an official registration (EP-Online) and does not necessarily mean the property is poorly insulated, it could be due to the heating system. But in practice, a G label usually leads to higher monthly bills.
