Frequently asked questions
About Wevershoekstraat 43A, Rotterdam
Was €224,500 a fair price for this studio?
The asking price was 20% below the average asking price in Tarwewijk, which was €281,491. However, the floor area of 44 m² is 43% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 77 m². So the price per square metre was higher than average, but the absolute price was low for the area.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is D. This was a middle-of-the-road label; heating costs would be moderate but not as low as with an A or B label. In Tarwewijk, about 37.7% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is fairly typical for the area.
