Frequently asked questions
About Hoogstraat 10, Harlingen
Is €474,500 a fair price for this terraced house?
The asking price of €474,500 is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €511,444 for homes currently for sale, and close to the median of €434,250. Given the 175 m² floor area, the price per m² works out at about €2,711, which is below the neighbourhood average of €3,725 per m². So it appears priced for the size and location.
What is the energy label C worth for a house from 1890?
Energy label C is a mid-range label, meaning the home is reasonably efficient but not top-tier. For a house built in 1890, a C label is quite respectable, many older homes have lower labels. It indicates that heating costs should be manageable, though not as low as an A or B label. The exact energy performance is registered in the official EP-Online database.
