Frequently asked questions
About Lange Smeestraat 16, Utrecht
Is €2,350 a fair rent for this terraced house?
The rent of €2,350 per month is slightly below the average for rental homes in the neighbourhood, which is €2,450. With a floor area of 70 m², the price per square metre comes to about €33.57, which is higher than the neighbourhood average of €27.53 per m². So the total rent is in line with the market, though the smaller size means a higher rate per square metre.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is C. This is an official registration from EP-Online, which indicates the home's energy performance class. A C label is a middle-of-the-road rating, so you can expect moderate energy costs compared to the most efficient homes, but it is not the least efficient label either. The label itself does not say anything about the condition of the building.
