Frequently asked questions
About Oldenzaalsestraat 99, Enschede
Is €325,000 a fair price for this house?
The asking price of €325,000 is 36% below the average asking price in the City neighbourhood, which is €508,632. The median asking price in the area is €375,000, so this home is priced below that too. However, the energy label G means higher energy costs, which may be a factor. Terraced houses in Enschede vary widely, so it's worth comparing with similar properties.
What is the energy label and what does it mean?
The energy label is G, the lowest rating. This means the home is poorly insulated and heating costs will be high. In the City neighbourhood, most homes for sale have better labels: 16.7% have label A+, 33.3% label B, and 38.9% label C. Only 11.1% are rated D or lower, so this home is at the bottom end of the scale.
How is the neighbourhood for daily life?
The City neighbourhood is very central, with supermarkets like Ekoplaza and Jumbo within a few minutes' walk. The train station is a ten-minute walk away. However, residents report mixed experiences: some appreciate the convenience and tidiness, while others mention crime and a lack of social cohesion. The area has a high density of young people and students.
What is the crime rate like in the City neighbourhood?
The neighbourhood recorded 1,924 total crimes, which is high given the population of 3,840. Some residents mention issues with junkies and young people carrying weapons. However, others find the area friendly and tidy. It's a busy city centre location, so some level of nuisance is common.
How old is the house and what condition is it in?
The house was built in 1935, so it's a pre-war property. The energy label G suggests it has not been modernised in terms of insulation or heating. The listing does not mention any recent renovations, so you should expect some updating may be needed.
Is there a garden or outdoor space?
The plot size is 145 m², which is larger than the floor area of 104 m², so there is likely some outdoor space. However, the listing does not explicitly mention a garden, terrace, or balcony. The exact layout of the outdoor area is not stated.
How far is the train station?
The train station is 0.8 km away, which is about a ten-minute walk. This makes it convenient for commuting or trips to other cities.
