About Gansstraat 25, Gouda
The asking price of €335,000 is below the neighbourhood average of €366,643 and the median of €350,000. Given the 87 m² floor area, the price per m² works out at about €3,851, which is lower than the neighbourhood average of €4,119. However, the energy label G means you'll need to budget for higher energy costs. Overall, the price is keen for a terraced house in this area, but the poor energy rating is a factor to weigh.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home has poor insulation and likely inefficient heating. You can expect high energy bills. In the neighbourhood, 69% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war house, but it's something to factor into your budget.
