About Burgemeester Rothestraat 18D, Wijk Aan Zee
At €215,000, this is the cheapest home for sale in Wijk aan Zee and sits 70% below the neighbourhood average asking price of €727,758. However, the living area is only 31 m², which is 85% smaller than the local average of 206 m². The price per square metre works out at about €6,935, slightly above the neighbourhood average of €6,342 per m². The large plot of 1,545 m² is a notable factor, but the energy label G means high running costs.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient and you can expect high heating and electricity bills. In the neighbourhood, 36.4% of homes have label A or better, while 31.8% have label D or lower. If you buy this home, you may want to consider investing in insulation, double glazing or a new heating system to improve efficiency.
The plot is 1,545 m², which is exceptionally large for a terraced house. The home itself is only 31 m², so there is plenty of outdoor space. You could use it as a garden, add an extension (subject to planning permission), or keep it as a large private yard. The exact possibilities depend on local zoning rules, which you would need to check with the municipality.
