About Engelbertstraat 2, Valkenburg
The asking price is 70% above the average asking price in Valkenburg (€470,802), but this home is also 30% larger than the average (152 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €4,035, which is above the neighbourhood average of €3,427/m². Given the size and the fact that it is a terraced house with a garden, the price is on the high side but not out of line with the top end of the market (max €919,000).
The home has energy label C. That means it is reasonably efficient but not top-of-the-range. You can expect moderate energy costs, but it is not as efficient as a modern A-label home. About 35% of homes in Valkenburg have label A or A+, so this is a bit below the local average.
