About Scherminkelstraat 33, Vlissingen
The asking price is 39% below the neighbourhood average of €388,877, but the home is also much smaller than average (26 m² vs 123 m²). Given the compact size and historic character, the price is in line with what you'd expect for a small terraced house in this area.
The energy label is C, which is average for a home of this age. In the neighbourhood, 29% of homes have label C, while 47% have D or lower. Label C means reasonable efficiency, but heating costs will be higher than in a modern home.
The house was built in 1675, making it over 340 years old. In the neighbourhood, 47% of homes date from before 1945, so older construction is common. You can expect period features but also potential maintenance needs typical of historic buildings.
