About Mercuriusstraat 39, Geleen
The asking price of €202,000 is 42% below the average asking price in Geleen-Centrum, which is €346,985. However, the floor area is also smaller than average, 73 m² versus 185 m². The large plot of 1,080 m² is a unique feature that adds value. Compared to recent sales in the neighbourhood, the median sold price was €335,000, so this home is priced well below that, making it a relatively affordable option.
The home has energy label C, which is average for a house of this age. In the neighbourhood, about 12.9% of homes have label C, while over half have labels D or lower. Label C means the home is reasonably efficient, but you can expect moderate energy costs. It's not as efficient as a modern A-label home, but it's better than many older properties in the area.
The plot is 1,080 m², which is exceptionally large for a terraced house. The neighbourhood average for all homes is 185 m², so this is more than five times that.

You would need to check the local zoning plan for possibilities.
