About Middelweg 30B, Leiden
At €8,758 per m², this studio is priced above the average for Leiden. The location in the historic centre and the compact size explain part of the premium, but the energy label G means higher running costs. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value being in the middle of the action.
Energy label G is the least efficient rating. The home will have poor insulation and high heating costs, especially in winter. You should expect significantly higher energy bills compared to a modern home. The exact amount depends on usage, but it is a factor to take seriously.
