Frequently asked questions
About Mgr. Claessensstraat 50, Sittard
Is €299,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price of €299,000 is 19% below the neighbourhood average of €370,935, which makes it a keen price. However, the floor area (112 m²) is 29% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 157 m², so the price per m² is actually in line with the local market. Given the energy label D and the 1954 construction, the price reflects the home's character and size.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The home has energy label D. This is a mid-range label, meaning the property is reasonably efficient but not as modern as A or B labels. You can expect moderate heating costs, but improvements like better insulation or double glazing could bring it up to a higher label. In the neighbourhood, 42.1% of homes have label D or lower, so this is fairly typical.

What are the nearest supermarkets?
