About Professor Schotanusstraat 9, Franeker
At €239,500, this is the cheapest home currently for sale in Franeker Professorenbuurt. The average asking price in the neighbourhood is €295,700, so this house is 19% below that. However, the floor area (84 m²) is 34% smaller than the neighbourhood average of 127 m². The price per square metre works out at about €2,851, which is slightly above the neighbourhood average of €2,511 per m². So it is keen on total price but not unusually cheap per square metre.
The home has energy label C. That is a decent rating for a house built in 1950, half the homes in the neighbourhood have label C, a quarter have label B, and a quarter are D or lower. With label C, you can expect reasonable energy costs, though not as low as a modern home. The exact bills will depend on your usage and the current energy prices.
The plot measures 155 m², which includes the house. The garden size is not stated separately in the listing, but the plot is generous for a terraced house of this size. You can expect a private outdoor space, likely at the rear.
