About Prinsengracht 740, Amsterdam
The asking price of €2,150,000 is 93% above the average asking price in the Weteringbuurt (€1,111,450). However, this home is also 61% larger than the neighbourhood average of 93 m². The price per square metre works out at about €14,333, which is slightly below the neighbourhood average of €15,510 per m². So while the total price is high, the square-metre price is actually in line with the market.
Energy label G is the lowest rating, meaning the home is not energy-efficient. For a house built in 1690, this is common, over 80% of homes in the neighbourhood were built before 1945. You can expect high heating costs, and the property will likely need significant investment in insulation, double glazing and a modern heating system to improve the label.
