About Oosterstraat 1, Gorinchem

However, this house is larger than average (113 m² vs 97 m²) and is a terraced house in the historic centre. Given that only three homes are currently for sale in Bovenstad, the price reflects its size and location, but it's on the high side compared to recent sales, which averaged €464,250.

In the neighbourhood, all available homes have label A or better, so this house stands out as less efficient. You should expect significant energy expenses, especially in winter. The label is based on the current state; improvements like insulation or a new heating system could lower costs.
