About Lijsterstraat 117, Utrecht
The asking price of €575,000 is slightly below the neighbourhood median of €580,000 and the average of €600,636. Given the 80 m² floor area and 70 m² plot, the price per m² (€7,188) is a touch above the neighbourhood average of €6,872. It's a keen price for a terraced house in this sought-after area, especially considering the energy label G means higher running costs.
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is not energy-efficient, so you can expect high heating and electricity bills. In the Vogelenbuurt, 37.5% of homes have a label D or lower, so this is not unusual for a pre-war house. You may want to budget for improvements like insulation or double glazing.
