Frequently asked questions
About Dr. Leijdsstraat 18, Tilburg
Is €1,695 per month a fair rent for this home?
The rent of €1,695 is above the average for rentals in the Afrikaanderbuurt Oost, which is €1,158 per month. However, this home has 97 m² of floor space, while the average rental in the neighbourhood is 119 m², so the price per square metre is higher here. The energy label A is efficient, which helps keep running costs down. Whether it is fair depends on what you value, but it is clearly a premium compared with the local average.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is A, which is the most efficient label on the scale. This means the home is registered as having a high level of energy performance, so you can expect relatively low heating and electricity costs compared with homes with lower labels. The label is an official registration, so it reflects the property's energy characteristics as recorded. It does not say anything about the condition of the building itself, only its energy efficiency.
How close are the nearest supermarkets?
