The rent of €1,850 sits close to the median of €1,848 for rentals in Wijk C, and slightly below the average of €1,936. Given the 40 m² floor area, the price per square metre works out to about €46, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €29 per m². That reflects the premium for a central canal-side location.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
