Frequently asked questions
About Gerard Doustraat 5, Utrecht
Was €1,125,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price was 43% above the neighbourhood average of €784,250, but the floor area (167 m²) was 44% larger than the average of 116 m². So the price per square metre was roughly in line with the market. Whether it is fair depends on how much you value the extra space and the pre-war character.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
