About Geert Grootestraat 7, Deventer
The asking price is 88% above the neighbourhood average of €637,000, but this home is also 51% larger than the typical Singel property (174 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €4,543, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €4,512. Given its size, age and location, the price is on the high side compared to other homes in Singel.
The home has energy label C. That means it meets a reasonable standard of insulation and energy efficiency, but it is not as efficient as modern homes. In the neighbourhood, 50% of homes have label A, so this one is slightly below the local average. You can expect moderate heating costs.
The house was built in 1871, making it one of the older properties in Singel, where 33% of homes date from before 1945. The listing does not mention any renovations, so you should assume it retains many original features. The energy label C suggests some modernisation has been done, but a viewing is needed to assess the actual condition.
