Groenburgwal 1

The asking price is 105% above the neighbourhood average of €971,000, but this home is also 108% larger than the average (193 m² vs 93 m²). The price per square metre works out at about €10,337, which is in line with the neighbourhood average of €10,307. So while the total price is high, it reflects the extra space and the canal-side location.

The energy label is F, which is poor. In the neighbourhood, 42.9% of homes have label A, while 35.7% have label D or lower. An F label means the home is not well insulated and heating costs will be significant. You should budget for potential upgrades to improve efficiency.

The living area is 193 m², which is well above the neighbourhood average of 93 m². The plot is 78 m², typical for a canal-side townhouse. The house was built in 1905, so it has high ceilings and period features, but also the maintenance that comes with an older property.
