About Westermarkt 3B, Amsterdam
At €350,000, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in the Felix Meritisbuurt and 83% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €2,047,568. However, the floor area is 79% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 168 m², so the price per square metre is relatively high. Given the compact size and central location, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a small studio in this area.
The energy label is D. This is a common label for pre-war buildings in the neighbourhood, 40.6% of homes here have label D or lower. A D label means the home is not very energy-efficient, so you can expect higher heating costs compared to a modern home. It's worth checking the specific insulation and heating system before buying.
